2002 Buick Rendezvous Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the front headlight bulb on 2002 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: You should start the bulb replacement procedure by taking away the hood then eliminating the thumb screw found on the rear of the headlamp. You should lift the retainer first before releasing it and then pull the headlamp straight forward to separate the ball stud from the grommet to remove the upper fascia support. The electrical connector should be disconnected from the headlamp while the bulbs need to be unscrewed counterclockwise. The next step requires freeing the headlamp trim tabs while pulling off the trim along with all adhesive tape. The remnant adhesive needs removal from both headlamp trim and headlamp by using 3m(TM) adhesive remover p/n 8984 or its equivalent alternative. To install the headlamp trim begin by attaching 3m(TM) p/n 6382 adhesive tape or equivalent to its surface if required before pressing the trim against the headlamp until end tabs reach full seating position. To install the new bulb follow the clockwise rotation while placing the electrical connector deep into the upper fascia support panel. Connect the electrical connector before putting the headlamp back onto the upper fascia support and push it until the ball stud reaches full seating. Reinstall the thumb screw at the rear of the headlamp by securing it on the ball stud and then activate the vertical retainer by moving it downwards to reach complete insertion. Before ending the repair process use the headlamp aim tester to verify the aim when installing a new headlamp or working on the front end area.
