Is my headlight able to change out the bulb?
So kinda dumb question, sorry, but i was wondering if my whole headlight is a bulb, or if i am able to take this out and replace it?
It's been flickering and im thinking the bulb might be ready to die out soon. Let me know please! Thank you https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...217d67a076.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...ba53da76e0.jpg |
well, since u didn't specify what car this is on, looks like the bulb might be replaceable. from the plug side, try twisting the center bulb ccw and see if it wont come out. if not, just have to replace the entire thing.

That's going to be a halogen bulb, not a sealed beam (where you have to change out "the whole headlight"). Looks to be some sort of aftermarket reflector body though. When handling the new replacements, be sure NOT to touch the body of the bulb with your bare hands. The oils from your skin will reduce it's lifespan.

Pull the rubber boot off and the mechanism for holding the bulb in will become apparent. Usually a wire clip that presses in on one dide and then swings out.
looks like a h4 bulb |
