How to Change a Headlight on a Prius
- 1). Use a screwdriver to pull out the screws just under the fender inside the wheel wells that hold the wheel well trim in place.
- 2). Pull the trim down and remove the screws on the inside of the wheel wells that hold the bumper cover in place.
- 3). Remove the 14 screws underneath the bumper cover that hold the bumper cover to the bumper support. Then pull the bumper cover off the front of the Prius.
- 4). Remove the screws holding the headlight housing assembly in place.
- 5). Pull the headlight housing forward, and remove the electrical plug running to the headlight ballast.
- 6). Remove the bail wire clip on the backside of the headlight, and pull the headlight out of the housing assembly.
- 7). Install the new headlight. Installation is the reverse of removal.
