To replace the front headlights on the Chevrolet HHRs without removing the tire:
- Turn front wheels sharply in direction of light bulb that needs to be replaced.
- Remove the (3) 7 mm screws that secure the inner fender cover to the car.
- Then remove the (4) plastic retainers from the same cover with a flat head screwdriver.
- Now slip your hand inside the fender cover until you can reach the back of the headlight bulb.
- Turn the bulb counter-clockwise to remove from stationary headlight fixture and slide out the wiring harness to replace the bulb.
- There is a lock tab on the bulb holder which you need to release with pressure to remove the old bulb.
- Place the new bulb in the holder, being careful not to touch the glass , as skin oils will make the new bulb burn out faster. If you do touch the glass bulb, be sure to thoroughly clean it with a soft cloth to remove all oils before replacing.
- Place the new bulb in the headlight fixture, turning clockwise to lock it into place.
- Test the light to make sure it is functional.
- Then replace the fender cover.
