How to Change a Headlight in a 1998 Dodge Stratus

    • 1). Open the hood of your Stratus and prop it on the retaining bar to hold it in place.

    • 2). Remove the two screws securing the headlight assembly with a Phillips screwdriver. There is one screw on each side of the assembly, and are located on the top of the engine area.

    • 3). Pull the headlight assembly forward to access the bulb and wiring. Pull the wiring harness connection free of the bulb socket.

    • 4). Grasp the retaining ring holding the Stratus headlight bulb in place and turn it counterclockwise. Remove the retaining ring from the headlight assembly.

    • 5). Pull the headlight bulb straight out of the assembly. Insert the new bulb into the assembly and replace the retaining ring. Turn the ring clockwise until it locks into place.

    • 6). Push the wiring harness onto the bulb socket until it locks into place. Push the headlight assembly back into position and replace the two retaining screws. Tighten the screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

    • 7). Repeat the process on the opposite headlight, if necessary. Close the hood and test the headlights.
