So I went down and bought a set of Sylvania Xtravision 9007s for my Eagle Vision because I read from Daniel Stern (the lighting guy) that these headlamps would improve the dismal headlights on this car. But looking at the lights, it seems like changing the bulbs is a b**ch!
So how many engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Seriously, have any of you done this? Where do I start? I think the Eagle and the Concorde have the same headlamps. The Intrepid looks a bit different, although it may be the same mechanically.
Furthermore, I've read that removing screws may cause the thing to break, so if that's true, I may just wait until my bulbs fail.
Ideas???
============================================
After reading the responses from this and other forums I figured how to do it. I thought I'd write down the process here to help the next guy.
1. The headlamp assembly is removed from the car by unscrewing two outer T15 Torx screws (bright plating) from the top of each headlamp assembly.
2. However, they can easily pull the captive nut loose which is molded into the bottom of the assembly. Therefore, first spray WD-40 on the bottom captive nut and let it soak in for 10 minutes.
3. Now just remove the 4 screws.
4. Release the connector (carefully) blue blade (it is very brittle and can easily break) and pull it away from the bulb connection.
5. Uscrew the black ring and replace the bulbs.
6. Lubricate screws and captive nut with WD-40 and screw it back together.
The whole job took 10 minutes. It's easy once you understand it!
