BIG thanks from a guy in Sweden :) Had no idea that i needed to go through the wheelhouse to get to the bulbs. Thanks again, and looking 4ward to more PT cruiser videos.

[@supersoccrstar]

Thanks. this video helped alot when I took out the headlamps for the 2006 PT Cruiser. Few differences. the 2006 fender panel is all one piece versus 2 pieces for the 2005 and lower. also to remove the headlamps on the '06 you need to remove the grill which will reveal a screw thats holding the bumper, remove the screw holding the bumper to further drop the bumper out of the way!

[@raullcalzadilla3541]

Great video. Will be ordering these when I come back from a ten-day trip.

[@1AAuto]

Glad to hear our video help you out. Have a great day!

[@jimdiavastes]

One quick tip from a video pro who uses hallogen light bulbs - not getting the oil or any other contamination on the glass of the bulb - will increase it's life tremendously. If you do handle the bulb use paper or wipe off your prints before installing it.

[@mxady29]

Great work made my life simple after looking under the bonnet to change a bulb.

[@HappinessinYourLife]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video! You saved me $15.00 and showed me I can do something that is in the realm of automotive, an area I know very very little about! I'm grateful to you!!

[@AndyThomas_mrblitz]

thanks for the video, man! i was freaking out until you showed the secret, removable panel.

[@1AAuto]

Andy Thomas A little know-how can go a long way. We're glad the video helped you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@Pbaglio21]

These videos are very helpful and motivates me to "do it yourself" rather then someone else and save money! Thanks!

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for watching. We sell the headlights show in this video on our website with FREE SHIPPING in the lower 48 states. Here's a link to them if anyone needs to replace theirs. www.1aauto.com/2001-05-chrysler-pt-cruiser-headlight-pair/i/1alhp00353?KZbin&VideoReply&ATony

[@1AAuto]

You may need to find something to hold them in place from rotating. You might be able to do that with a flat head screw driver so that there's some pressure on it.

[@1AAuto]

There might be, or if there's an extra bracket in the way you may need to remove it.

[@elbosausage]

thank you guys for the help- i never would have thought there was a back entrance, however my fat hand was able to reach under without a jack--the wheels were cocked hard to the right tho...again many thanks!

[@1AAuto]

@TiniTinyTony You should be able to get them at your local dealership. Hope this helps you out.

[@gwbolton]

Brilliant video. Very well explained and simple to follow. Thank you!

[@1AAuto]

It's easier if you take the tire off, and then take it out through the access hole in the wheel well.

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for visiting our auto repair channel on KZbin.

[@1AAuto]

There should be an adjusting screw either on the top or the backside of the headlight.

[@aarongates1452]

How do you adjust the headlights on a 2001 PT Cruiser?

[@jessieharbinjr.6589]

Much easier than other videos where the poster has removed the entire bumper, and grill.

[@yaright8762]

Thanks for the post. I did it. I replaced the bulb no problem.

[@kerbclipper1]

thanks for the video. i have a 2005 cruiser and want to know how to change the bulbs on the front wheel arch just in front of the door hinges. do they just pull off or do i have to take the wheel arch lining off?

[@derplinkster]

Once Again Thanks For The Help.

[@andyg.3509]

Thanks so much!! I knew the access cover was there, but couldn't seem to get it off and was afraid I'd break it. Then found your vid...Had to really pry it off (passenger's side). Turned the wheel all the way to the right.

[@1AAuto]

+Andy G. Thanks for checking us out!

[@monkeyman8265]

What do you do about the two 10mm nuts that hold the upper and lower fender together if they just spin with the bolts. I got everything apart and get to the two most important nuts to get out and I hit a brick wall. There doesn’t seem to be anyway to hold it from the top to keep the hole nut and bolt from spinning together.

[@MrMOPAR472]

Thankyou for posting this. Made it very easy for me to do.

[@stephenh5944]

Is it basically the same procedure on the driver side?

[@kencartwright561]

Thanks, great video. Made the job easy just by turning the wheel instead of taking it off..

I need that piece that you took off to get to the light bulbs. Do you have it? Mine seems to have broke and now its missing. 2005 PT Cruiser

[@Mikie667]

EXCELLENT video! Thanks!

[@dondommisse3992]

I would like to add about the flap: the 2 back catches are like slotted 3-finger flaps that just slide in and out. The front wide middle "latch of the door" is what needs to come out and snap back in last. You bend the "door" in the middle pushing up with one hand sort of trying to fold the door lengthways with "hinges" on one side and "latch" on the other, pushing up just like the curvature of the wheel well cover. It won't fold that much but you pull down with other hand on the latch part at same time 'til it comes out or snaps right back into place. It's all in that front latch.

[@JIMJONESHXC]

Thanks a lot guys!

[@EdK-rh7mh]

I am having problems where at 5:30 in the video, my stems are rotating when trying to remove these nuts....Any ideas?

Ermm, I think the cancer around that weld is a little more pressing than that headlight bulb; that's some serious rust on there.

[@mikeemmons1079]

Are you kidding me? Am I old fashioned or is that just wilfully ignorant design? I have changed head gaskets on a 80's GMC van in November in a driveway, so I am fully aware of how sometimes there aint no way around awkward under the hood. This seems like someone sat down and tried to make the simplest repair a nightmare chore under all but the best conditions. My next ride is gonna be a classic, something I can work on with the ease of a Mechano set.

[@icnote2377]

What a horror for one bulb. This is pt cruiser. Prop for the vid

too much work... ill just do one of the many other tricks to restore them

[@ProTuner06]

Literally the WORST car I’ve ever owned.

[@Roger-hp1yg]

You whats funny about this. A mechanic and a regular guy is doing this and having a tough time. Yet if you take the car to the ones that built the car they would have it done in no time. N laughing at the regular guy and mechanic.
