This 2005 Suzuki Forenza came in with the complaint that the driver’s low beam headlight was not working. The vehicle owner had given up on trying to change to bulb himself because of limited room to work.
I looked it over and decided the easier avenue would be to remove the headlight assembly and then change the bulb. The two top screws are easy enough to locate and remove.
There is a nut on the inside of the radiator support that has to be removed as well. Kind of looks like a pain but it is not. All fasteners were 10 mm hex.
With the three retainers removed the headlight slid out of the front of the car. It was slightly difficult to deal with the front fascia cover.
With the headlight assembly out of the car I supported it with my leg while I removed the rear bulb cover.
A counterclockwise twist and pull.
Firmly pull the wire harness from the bulb. Make sure you grasp the connector body and do not pull on the wires.
In this case I had to use pliers to grab and release the locking arm for the bulb.
Install the new bulb, connect the wiring and install the bulb cover. Then mount the whole assembly back into the car.
