Default Headlight

I'm away at school without my car, trying to think of everything I need to wrap up for the Rod Run in Piegon Forge next weekend. I need a new headlight and was gonna replace it this weekend. I've never had it out nor even looked at it, is it a bulb assembly of some sort or am I getting the whole light? Just making sure so I don't have to run into a special order this weekend when I pop into the parts store.

Hey. If it is for your TA, it is a whole sealed beam, not a
bulb. It is a universal part number of H4666 or just 4666.
Make sure you get a halogen though. Also, you can turn the
headlight up yourself by the **** right next to the headlight
motor and there is either 2 or 3 screws holding it in place. unhook
the electrcial connection and thats it. hope this helps.

all youll need is a number 2 phillips medium length or longer. turnt he head lights on so they pop up then go tot he front and unplug the motor. then turn the headlights back off. this keeps you from having to use the manual up and down. then just remove the four screws holding the black plastic to the housing and then the four screws holding the headlight in its cradle or mount. may have to wiggle the plug to get it off the back of the light. it can be a pain sometimes.

Yeah I can change it no prob, just checking to see whether I needed the whole beam or some bulbs. Part # is great, cuz most of the time those guys don't know what you're needing. Thanks.
