WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Jeep Patriot and 2009 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not contaminate the bulb glass by touching it with your fingers or by allowing it to contact other oily surfaces. Shortened bulb life will result.
- Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
- Disconnect the engine compartment wire harness connector from the headlamp bulb base (3) on the back of the headlamp unit housing (1).
- Firmly grasp one of the tabs (2) of the headlamp boot seal on the back of the housing.
- Pull the tab away from the back of the headlamp unit housing to remove the boot seal from the housing and the headlamp bulb base.
- Removal of the boot seal from the headlamp unit housing (1) will reveal the wire retainer (4) for the headlamp bulb (2) on the headlamp reflector (3).
- Pinch the two ends of the wire retainer together and disengage them from the hooks that secure them to the bulb flange on the reflector.
- Pivot the wire retainer up off of the flange of the headlamp bulb base and out of the way.
- Pull the bulb straight out of the keyed opening in the headlamp reflector.
