How to Replace a Headlight in a 2002 Buick Regal
- 1). Turn off the engine and headlight switch. Apply the parking brake of your 2002 Buick Regal, then open the hood.
- 2). Locate the two retaining brackets at each side of the headlight lens assembly with the faulty headlight.
- 3). Lift up on the two tabs as far as they will go.
- 4). Reach behind the lens assembly, and disconnect the electrical wire connection at the rear center of the assembly.
- 5). Pull the lens assembly outward toward the front of the Regal.
- 6). Pull the protective rubber weather seal (on the back of the lens assembly) from the back of the headlight chamber containing the headlight you plan to replace.
- 7). Lift the locking tabs upward slightly on the electrical plug connection plugged into the socket base of the headlight.
- 8). Turn the headlight socket base a quarter turn to the left (counterclockwise). Remove the headlight from the lens assembly.
- 9). Put on a pair of gloves before handling the replacement headlight. (Skin oil will damage the glass bulb section of the headlight due to its intense heat from internal gases when operating.)
