Just because I have a bug up my ass about this, I decided to make a point.

How to change a 1993 YJ headlight, a thread.

Time taken- 12:17 to 12:24

On a headlight that hasn't been touched in ten years.

Step 1: assess your old ass Jeep- look him square in the eye- https://twitter.com/JnxOuaquaga/status/1316719619487363079
Step 2: Unscrew that bastard. Phillips head. Magnetic is best.

This bezel is often plastic- be careful it doesn't snap in cold weather.

Look! His eye is n a k e y!
Step 3:

The next four screws. These four are actually holding in the lamp, so be careful it doesn't just fall out on you.

White arrows are pointing at the screws and a bonus cock, for your enjoyment.

Red circle indicates your lamp aiming screw- leave it be.
Step 4: Assess your removed bits. Have you got them all? 4 screws and two bezels removed, revealing an exposed lamp.
Step 5:

Unplug the fucking lamp.

Plug the new one the fuck in.

Check that the new light works on both dim and high beam.
Step 6:

Put it the fuck back together.

Best, as always, to tighten the screws by stages, and don't over tighten.

Say, 'Thank you, >your Jeep's name<, you are a good Jeep, and I love you.'

Fin.
