1. Open the Hood:
- Pull the hood release lever located inside the cabin, usually near the driver's left footwell.
- Go to the front of the car and lift the hood.
- Use the prop rod to secure the hood in an open position.
2. Locate the Headlight Assembly:
- On each side of the engine bay, you'll find the headlight assemblies behind the headlights.
3. Remove the Headlight Cover:
- To expose the headlight bulb, you need to remove the protective cover.
- Some models have a plastic cover secured by screws or clips, while others have a rubber boot.
- Twist the plastic cover counterclockwise or gently pull the rubber boot off to remove it.
4. Disconnect the Electrical Connector:
- Locate the electrical connector attached to the back of the headlight bulb housing.
- Press the release tab or squeeze the connector to disconnect it from the bulb.
5. Remove the Old Bulb:
- Gently turn the bulb counterclockwise until it comes loose from the socket.
- Be careful not to drop or break the bulb.
6. Install the New Bulb:
- Hold the new bulb firmly and insert it into the socket.
- Turn the bulb clockwise until it locks in place.
7. Reconnect the Electrical Connector:
- Plug the electrical connector back onto the bulb housing and ensure it's secure.
8. Replace the Headlight Cover:
- Replace the plastic cover or rubber boot you removed earlier.
- Secure the cover properly to avoid dust or moisture from entering the headlight assembly.
9. Repeat for the Other Side (if necessary):
- If both headlights require bulb replacement, follow the same steps for the other side of the car.
10. Close the Hood:
- Lower the hood gently and ensure it's properly closed.
Your Porsche 944 headlight bulb should now be successfully replaced. Remember, always refer to your car's specific owner's manual for exact instructions and safety guidelines.
