One headlight of my truck does not turn on, when I move the socket the bulb suddenly turns on. I have to open the hood everytime in order to turn on the bulb. Where do I buy a socket for my headlight of my 2006 Lincoln Mark Lt truck. The socket looks burned, needs replacement.

To access the front driver's side turning light of a 2008 Lincoln MKZ, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Open the hood of the car and locate the headlight assembly on the driver's side.
2. Look for the turn signal bulb socket, which will be located at the bottom of the headlight assembly.
3. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to release it from the headlight assembly.
4. Gently pull the bulb and socket out of the headlight assembly.
5. Pull the old bulb out of the socket and discard it.
6. Insert a new turn signal bulb into the socket, making sure it is securely seated.
7. Reinsert the bulb and socket into the headlight assembly and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
8. Test the turn signal to ensure it is working properly.
9. Repeat these steps for the front passenger side turning light if needed.

It's important to note that the exact process may vary slightly depending on the specific model year of your MKZ, so you may want to consult your owner's manual for more detailed instructions or diagrams.

Open the hood and reach down behind the headlight where the turn signal bulb wire and socket are located. Twist the socket counterclockwise 1/4 turn to release the socket...get the bulb out...replace it...reverse order!

1
Place the Mitsubishi on a flat service in park. Set the parking brake before continuing.

2Open the Galant's hood and locate the headlight cover -- roughly 3-inch wide circular piece of plastic -- behind the headlight bulb intended for replacement. Turn this cover clockwise to unlock it and pull it from the headlight assembly, exposing the headlight socket below it.

3

Hold the rear of the headlight socket and turn it counterclockwise to unlock it. Pull the headlight socket and bulb from the headlight assembly.

4

Grab the bulb and pull it from the socket with a slight wiggling motion.

5

Pick up the new 9003 headlight bulb using a clean, lint-free cloth and line up its prong with the slots in the socket. Never tough the bulb with your bare hands, as the oils left by your hands can cause the bulb to burn out prematurely.

6

Slide the socket and new bulb into the headlight assembly and turn the socket clockwise to lock it into place.

7

Place the plastic cover behind the bulb and turn it counterclockwise to lock it into place.

8

Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for the headlight bulb on the other side of the Galant, if needed.

9Close the Galant's hood.

2. Push the headlight assembly back into place and reinstall the retaining bolts, using a wrench and socket.

Hi there, together with providing you the solution to the problem, I also took the liberty of going one step further in giving you steps on how to remove the headlight bulb.

• Find the hood release handle and activate it, the hood should pop open.
• Once the hood is popped open locate the hood secondary or safety latch and release it. Then finish opening the hood.
• Locate and remove mounting clips for any plastic shields that cover the headlight lens mounting screws or clips.
• Some headlight bulbs can be replaced by simply grasping the bulb socket behind the headlight lens and turn it counter clockwise to remove it. This will expose the headlight bulb.
• If the headlight bulb socket is not accessible the headlight lens may need to be remove or obstructions behind the bulb removed to gain access to the headlight bulb socket.
• To remove the headlight lens remove all mounting screws and clips that hold the headlight lens in place.
• After the headlight housing has been removed from it's mounts, release the headlight bulb from the headlight lens housing (turn counter clockwise) the bulb will then come out of the headlight assembly. Once removed, visually verify that the replacement bulb is exactly the same as the failed bulb before to ensure a proper repair.
• Clean the headlight lens free from all debris to help maintain the seal from the bulb to the lens. This will keep moisture out of the lens.
• Install the new headlight bulb by turning the retainer ring or bulb clockwise.
• Re-install the headlight lens housing and reinstall electrical connector.
• Re-install plastic covers.

After the job is complete turn the ignition key to the "on" position and activate the headlight switch. Observe the newly replaced headlight bulb to ensure proper operation.

Glad to be of help!!!

hello first open hood go behind headlamp is not working turn the light socket counter clock wise out comes socket and bulb bulb pulls out reinstall new bulb reinstall socket turn clock wise turn on head lights check low beam then hi beam both working well job done.

open hood, lean forward and look at the rear of the headlight assembly. unplug bulb wiring, turn bulb unit 30 degrees in socket and pull, not violently, out. install new one in reverse order, do not touch bulb glass with skin. note the sockets look the same but the bulbs aren't the same. very common problem to put the wrong bulb in. if you look in your owner's manual it will tell you which bulb goes in which socket.

Instructions Things You'll Need:

• 9007 LL halogen headlight bulb
• Wrench
• Gloves or clean rag

1. Step 1 Set the parking brake and remove the keys from the ignition to ensure your Chevy Cobalt won't roll while you're replacing the headlight bulb.
   
2. Step 2 Open the hood by pulling the hood release latch located under the instrument panel on the driver's side of the car. Locate the secondary release latch on the front of the hood at the center, slightly towards the driver's side. Slide the latch to the left to release the hood and raise it.
   
3. Step 3 Locate the headlight assembly and remove the bolts by turning them counterclockwise. Set the bolts aside in a safe place, so you won't misplace them.
   
4. Step 4 Remove the plastic fasteners from the headlight assembly molding. Carefully pull back the front fascia, or molding. You may need an extra pair of hands to perform this slightly awkward task.
   
5. Step 5 Grab the headlight assembly and pull it towards the radiator at a slight angle to remove it. This should provide easier access to the headlight bulb and wiring harness.
   
6. Step 6 Lift the plastic locking tab on the wiring harness to disconnect the bulb base. Then, disconnect the wiring harness from the bulb socket and remove the black retainer by turning it counterclockwise.
   
7. Step 7 Disconnect the bulb socket by turning it counterclockwise. Remove the old bulb from the socket by firmly, but gently pulling it straight out.
   
8. Step 8 Replace the old bulb with a new 9007 LL halogen headlight bulb. Put your headlight assembly back together by reversing the steps when you disassembled it. Use 89 inch-lb torque when retightening the headlight assembly

Your headlights are just bulbs that need to be changed from under the hood. When you open the hood and look at the back side of the headlight you will see the wires sticking out.There is a black plastic ring that you will need to twist counter clockwise about 1/4 of a turn then pull. You will end up with this ring the socket and the old bulb in your hand at this point. If you look at your new bulb (don't handle by the glass!) and compare it to the old you will be able to see how the socket comes off by pulling. Reinstall in oppisite order and you will be fine.
