Having problems changing headlight bulb. Please help.

I am having problems changing the headlight bulb in my 94 viper. What needs to be taken apart to get to the bulb? Any explanation of how to change the bulb would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Q. How many Viper owners does it take to change a light bulb?

A. None, cause all of us put together can't figure out how to do it!

I'm just playing since the thread was so quiet. I don't have any help to offer you, just figured I'd bump your thread and maybe give you something dumb to laugh at.

FWIW, I spent the 100 bucks on a service manual for my car, and it was some of the best money I've invested in the car....just something to think about. It's great having a reference for how to do even the 'simple' things.

Good luck with the headlight change.

Thanks. This definately helps. I think I removed everything correctly except for the thumb screw. I will try again.

Yeah, I definately need to invest in a service manual soon.

If it's the first time, the back cover is very glued on from the original sealant. You will have to pry it off.

While you had the hood up, did you check the speaker connections in front of the windshield? Perfect time for other maintenance like that.

Also check Power steering cap!!!!!!!!!!

Check out Ebay for manuals -probably cheaper way to go.

Hopefully you got your light fixed and are already out enjoying your Viper!
