These Halogen bulbs are inefficient, and run so hot that they often damage the reflector and bulb socket if they are left on too long. Fortunately there is an easy fix for this. At most stores that sell the exact replacement Halogen bulbs (Lowes, Home Depot and others) you will see a selection of LED bulbs on the same display rack that will fit into the same socket the Halogen bulbs use. It is IMPORTANT that you know the code number stamped on the base of your Halogen bulb AND its voltage because some Halogen bulbs are 12 volts and some are 110 volts. If you can't read the labeling on the bulb, look for the wiring diagram usually glued inside the range hood or look in your owner's manual. Once you know your Halogen bulb's code number, look at the packages that the LED replacements come in. There will be a list of Halogen bulb code numbers that the LEDs are meant to replace. The male sockets on these LED replacements will be shaped just like the sockets on your original Halogen bulbs so they will plug in easily. However, just like LEDs bulbs that replace the old incandescent bulbs in your table lamps or ceiling sockets, they have an electronic section included in there base to run the LEDs and it makes the LED bulb slightly longer than the much simpler Halogen bulb. For my stove hood it meant that the bulb would not quite fit into the reflector in the hood. I had to use a Dremel tool to remove a bit of the reflector to get a proper fit. The LED bulb is just as bright but runs SO much cooler and uses so much less electricity that now I can use the range hood as a night light in the kitchen. I never felt safe doing that with the two Halogen bulbs since they ran so hot that they were burning the fixture that held them in the stainless steel hood and were melting the wiring entering the socket base. This upgrade to your range hood is well worth the effort.

I don't know how to replace the headlight replacement, but I can tell you how to replace the bulbs if that is what you want to know. It all depends on if your vehicle is equipped with halogen or xenon bulbs. I am posting instructions for both.
1. Turn the headlamp bulb plastic cap counterclockwise to unlock and remove it 2. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to unlock and remove it (xenon) 3. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the bulb terminals (halogen) 4. Unlock the retaining springs and remove the bulb 5. Release the ignitor and remove from the plastic cap (xenon) 6. Turn the high beam lamp socket counterclockwise to unlock and remove it. Installation is the reverse order of removal.
To
replace the light bulb first remove the screws located on the vent grill at the
top of the microwave, tilt the grill back and then pull away to remove. After
this open the light cover , you have to remove the screws so that you can
discard the old light bulb and then replace it with a new one. Please get back
to me if you have any other questions.
WARNING: THE REPLACEABLE HALOGEN HEADLAMP BULB CONTAINS GAS UNDER PRESSURE. THE HALOGEN HEADLAMP BULB MAY SHATTER IF THE GLASS ENVELOPE IS SCRATCHED OR THE HALOGEN HEADLAMP BULB IS DROPPED. HANDLE HALOGEN HEADLAMP BULB CAREFULLY. GRASP HALOGEN HEADLAMP BULB ONLY BY ITS PLASTIC BASE. AVOID TOUCHING GLASS ENVELOPE. KEEP HALOGEN HEADLAMP BULB OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Position headlamp switch (11654) and headlamp time delay switch (13736) in the OFF position.
Remove two bolts retaining headlamp (13008) to upper support assembly and loosen pinch bolt. Remove headlamp assembly from vehicle.
Remove park lamp bulb and socket (Sable only) and headlamp bulb and socket from Headlamp Assembly as outlined.
Headlamp Assembly (Taurus Shown, Sable Similar)
Turn lamp socket and wiring (13410) assembly 1/2 turn counterclockwise and remove from parking lamp (13200) housing.
Remove screw from park/turn signal housing.
Using 1/4 inch drive socket extension and swivel, insert tool through two access holes in upper radiator support. Remove screws from park/turn signal housing.
This is how to replace the lights on the KitchenAid khlu162m hood. If this is not you hood please give the right make and model # so I can get you the right info.
Replacing the Halogen
lamps:
The hood liner uses 12-volt, 20
watt halogen lamp bulbs.
Before you begin, make sure that
the range hood is turned off and
that the lamps have had sufficient
time to cool.
To replace a halogen lamp:
• Remove 2 screws from the
circular metal trim around the
lamp assembly.
• Pull the trim with the lamp
assembly attached down far
enough so that the lamp can be
pushed out of the socket clips.
• Insert the new lamp into the
socket clips and push the lamp
and trim assembly back up into
the hood.
• Replace the screws.

This is for a smeg KD series, it depens on the model which lights are used.
LIGHTS REPLACEMENT: Before performing any cleaning and/or maintenance operation, disconnect the hood from the mains supply. According to the model, the hood can be equipped with different kind of lighting such as incandescent, halogen and neon lamps. a) Incandescent lamps: E14 – 40W 230V lamps. To replace them, remove the transparent fixture from the control panel, unscrew the lamp and screw in the new one. b) Halogen lamps: G4, 20W - 12V lamps . To replace the lamp, use a screwdriver to remove the glass-supporting ring. Then remove the old lamp and insert the new one. Put the glass back, securing it with the ring. c) Biax neon lamps: G23 11W lamp. Once the fixture has been removed, remove the biax lamp from its seat and support. Put a new lamp in, performing the same operations backwards. d) Neon lamp: 15/18W neon tube. To reach the neon tube, unscrew the glass framework screws. Rotate the tube 90 degrees and remove the neon lamp. Install the new neon tube and put the glass framework back.
Tools needed: pair of regular pliers Look around for black, plastic wingnuts on the back of the assembly - you'll probably need a pair of pliers for leverage to loosen them up. If the assembly is nested with the headlamp assembly, just loosen the whole thing and pull it out. Just note how the things come off so you'll put them back in the same order and position. There may be an odd-shaped kind of circular metal retainer that holds the lamp socket onto the back of the turn signal fliffersham - that should twist off without any problem. Replace whatever it is you're replacing and hook the lamp back up, being careful not to touch the bulb - they don't like greasy fingerprints (although the halogen-type bulbs are even more persnickety). Make sure the lamp socket retainer is screwed on correctly and tightly (It's a terrible design and is difficult to tell if it's really seated properly) and then fasten the assembly back onto your bumper with the wingnuts - tighten gently with the pliers.
