Replacing headlights are one of the problems that require special tools and experience.

There’s nothing else to say. Well, it’s simple, right? Not quite, that’s what we’re saying. There are many different things that can go wrong when you are trying to replace car headlights. If you don’t do it right the first time, you can end up spending hundreds of dollars on additional repairs. That’s the reason I am going to give you a plan for replacing headlights.
Step 1 — Use a Headlight Removal Tool You’re going to need a tool called a headlight removal tool. This will help you remove your headlight and there’s a couple of different models. This one is the one that I prefer. It’s made by an American company called Bully Tools. I’ve used it for years, I’ve never had an issue with it. You can use it to remove your headlight or your fog light. It’s got the rubber on the end so it doesn’t scratch your headlights.
When you’re taking your headlight out, there’s a little clip, you can see it right here. It goes down about 2/3rds of an inch. It’s got a little tab on it so you can pop it out.
That way, you can take the backing off the headlight. Then you can just pull it out. You can pull it out with your hand, you don’t need to use any tools.
It’s not that hard. You can do it! And you can do it in your driveway in about 15 minutes.
