Default changing low beam light bulbs

Newbie here...how do i change the low beam light bulbs. I bought 9006 bulbs and can't figure out how to remove the headlight assembly.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
Open the hood and you should see a couple of retainers, pull them up and out and the headlight will tip forward and come out. Then rotate the back of the bulb couter clockwise and it will come out. Don't touch the glass on the new bulbs or they will burn out prematurely due to the oils in your skin.

Make sure that, when you put the headlights back in, make sure they're sitting level, and the bottom clips are all the way in.

Is there a trick of some sort to get them back in? I have tried several times to get the passenger side unit back in properly and it just will not seat properly!

Luck, mostly, if you didn't take the grill off...

Did you try it with the grill off? You'll be able to see the bottom parts that you need lined up...
