-On my '09 Aura, the driver's side low beam is easily accessible through an access hole from behind the lamp. 1. Remove battery cover 2. Pull washer fluid top fill pipe off (just pull out one push pin first) 3. Remove one wire/cable anchor & move wires out of the way. (May also want to unscrew that ground wire.) Easy peasy. Sadly, they did not provide a similar access hole on the passenger side.
Thanks very much! My mechanic charges $160 to replace the headlight on my Saturn 2007 Aura XR. Your instructions allowed me to do it for the cost of a single bulb, a sore back for awhile and 2 hours of work — mostly spent looking for the right socket to use on the two little bolts and the preparation of jacking up the car, etc. Didn't need to remove the tire. One note — I'm not tall – just 5'7, and my arms didn't reach far enough to secure the bulb in the wired socket, so I discovered it was possible to remove and replace it with one hand. Took some fiddling but it worked! I'm thinking of offering my services to other Saturn Aura owners.
I did this with the driver's side about a year ago. I've been waiting for the passenger side to go and it finally happened. Just watching this to refresh my memory. It is ridiculous that they design things like this where a simple item is such a hassle to replace.
I spent an hour trying to replace the bulb on the driver side of my car. I was getting frustrated so I ended up just wrenching the the whole light out just enough to reach the bulb. It worked but I really wish i saw this video first. I'm gonna replace the bulb on the passenger side of my car with your method. Thank you!
