How to Replace 2000 Grand Vitara Headlights

How to Replace 2000 Grand Vitara Headlights

Replacing the headlights on the Suzuki Grand Vitara may be required if the lights have damage or if they are extremely discolored or cloudy. Replacement headlights are available from the Suzuki dealer network and through some specialty parts stores. Used headlights can often be found in salvage yards at a much lower price, but check them over to make sure they are not damaged or discolored as well.

Instructions

    1

    Open the hood of your Grand Vitara, then locate the screws in the perimeter of the grill from the front. Remove them with a Phillips screwdriver and lift the grill off the car.

    2

    Locate the electrical connector on the back of the headlight assembly and disconnect it by pulling it straight away from the back of the headlight assembly. You will need to depress the locking tab on the connector before you can remove it.

    3

    Locate the screw in the radiator support above the headlight assembly. Remove it with a Phillips screwdriver. Move to the front of the light and remove the two screws at the bottom of the headlight assembly with your Phillips screwdriver, then pull the headlight assembly straight out. Disconnect any wires that are still attached.

    4

    Position the new headlight in the front of your Suzuki and install the three retaining screws. Tighten them with a Phillps screwdriver. Connect the electrical connector to the rear of the headlight assembly, pushing it in until the locking tab engages. Repeat the process on the opposite side of the truck.
