Pittsburgh05sts Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Nobody knows anything about changing the bulbs in these darn cars,thats hard to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Probably no different than mine. Just unscrew the halogen bulb from the rear and replace. Depending on the type of setup, you have to disconnect the halogen bulb assembly from the harness and replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it was that easy,it is a lot different i was told you need to remove the front bumper and from the looks of it you have to i just have no idea where to start,whoever designed the car needs to be shot and hung that is unheard of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Don't believe everything you hear. Someone with a 2005 FSM and/or direct experience with changing headlight bulbs will get back to you here. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

MAC Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Wouldn't the owner's manual describe how to change headlight bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittsburgh05sts Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Wouldn't the owner's manual describe how to change headlight bulbs. Believe it or not the owners manual tells you absolutely nothing about the headlights,it just tells you what the replacement bulbs are and it tells you how to replace the parking lights thats it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
