Unhappy 05 Impreza Headlight Replacement

I have a blown left headlight and need to know how to replace it. I see a round plastic cap that covers the back of the light housing. How do you get this off? Also, I have a set of replacement bulbs I bought 3 years ago for my WRX wagon. can I still use them or did the bulbs change in 04 when the front lights changed?

Thanks

Jim

should be the same for most headlights... There should be a rubber cover to prevent water from getting in. Unplug the connector and remove that rubber piece, and you should see a metal clip. Pintch the two legs and remove that. The bulb should come loose at this point. Remove the bulb and replace it with the new. Make sure you don't touch the bulb at all. Any grease, even from your fingers can kill the bulb after very short use.

good luck...
