Estimated Time: 30 minutes

Important Notice: Always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual and ensure the car is off with the headlights cool before starting. Safety first!

Part 2: Steps to 9005 LED Headlight Bulb Installation

Step 1: Access the Headlight Housing

Open your vehicle’s hood and locate the area behind the headlight assembly.

Remove the dust cover that conceals the connector and bulb housing. This can be done with your hands or a screwdriver for added leverage.

Press on the connector tab and pull it out to disconnect the plug from the existing bulb.

Twist the old bulb counterclockwise to release it from the socket.

Note: Ensure the ignition is off and all switches are turned off to avoid electrical issues.

Step 2: Install the New LED Bulb

Take the 9005 LED bulb and align its slots with the tabs in the headlight housing. The bulb features two slightly curved tabs and one small rectangular tab, which must align perfectly.

Insert the bulb into the cavity and twist it clockwise to secure it in place.

From the outside view, the LED chip should face the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions for optimal beam pattern.

Step 3: Connect the Wiring

Attach the LED bulb's connector to the plug you removed earlier. Ensure it clicks into place to confirm a secure connection.

Step 4: Reassemble the Housing

Carefully tuck all wiring back into the housing to avoid interference. Replace the dust cover to protect the components from dirt and moisture.

Step 5: Repeat and Test

Repeat the steps for the second headlight. Once both bulbs are installed, reconnect the battery if it was disconnected, and test the headlights. They should illuminate with a bright, white 6000K light, significantly improving visibility compared to halogen bulbs.
