I want to know how to change the bulb. I was able to purchase the replacement bulb but how do I get to it to change it. Should I go from under the hood or behind the bumper. I a a woman but am capable of doing general repairs if I am given direction. Thanks for your help

Also I have a 204 Buick Rendezvous that I need to change the fuse for the lighter on. Can you help me with that also?

Unfortunately the front fascia (bumper) has to come off to remove the headlight then the bulb. Unless you can reach behind to get it which I doubt. Also if you are using a halogen bulb never touch the bulb part with your fingers/hands as the oil in your hands will shorten the life drastically. And don't buy bulbs that a made in china they don't last. Get a name brand bulb. See pics. And think about replacing all bulbs not just the one. Oh these will be push pins and 7 an d10 mm headed bolts screws. Good luck
