How to Change Headlights in 2002 Town and Country

How to Change Headlights in 2002 Town and Country

The 2002 Chrysler Town and Country uses an integrated two-filament headlight to supply both low and high beams in one unit. The halogen headlight lights at excessive temperatures from the internal gases inside the bulb. Consequently, contact with the glass with hands, perspiration or dirt will damage the bulb. Avoid contact with the replacement bulb or clean the bulb with distilled alcohol and a clean cloth. The procedure to replace the bulb in the Town and Country is the same as the Dodge Grand Caravan.

Instructions

    1

    Park the Town and Country on a level surface, apply the parking brake, make sure the headlight switch is off and open the hood.

    2

    Locate the three upper headlight assembly retaining bolts on top of the assembly support bracket. They form a triangular pattern with two of the bolts on top of the inboard side of the assembly and the last one near the outer corner of the assembly near the directional light.

    3

    Remove the three bolts with the socket wrench.

    4

    Pull the headlight assembly forward and rest it on a clean shop rag on the front bumper. The rag will help prevent scratching the bumper.

    5

    Disconnect the electrical connector behind the headlight assembly that plugs into the headlight socket. Use the screwdriver to gently lift upward on the locking clip (at the top of the plug) of the plug and pull the connector away from the socket.

    6

    Turn the headlight retaining collar counter-clockwise to remove it and access the headlight. Pull the headlight out of the headlight assembly.

    7

    Place the 9007 automotive replacement bulb into the headlight assembly (being careful not to touch the glass bulb). Align the three notches on the socket base of the headlight to the three grooves in the headlight assembly and then replace the retaining collar (turning it clockwise to lock it into place).

    8

    Test the headlight for operation before reinstalling the headlight assembly and retaining bolts.
