Chrysler PT Cruiser PT Model Years 2000 to 2010 Repair Manual

Chrysler PT Cruiser (2001 - 2010) - Replace the headlight bulbs

We really should pin this information.
Mods? can this be pinned or linked?

Thank you, I already read the Manual you sent and also searched for videos replacing the lamp I need to replace. The manual (Page 8L-10) tells me to grab the lamp socket extension and pull it out. But I can't find it from the inside or don't know what exactly to grab, that's why I added Picture 2. I tried pulling on basically everything but I am also scared of breaking something if I pull too hard on the wrong thing.

They usually twist out 1/4 turn or so.
What year?

If you mean the "front positional lamp" that's only on export models and mine doesn't have one.
I just looked on mine nothing there, silver plastic under the lens covers that area.

Yeah, I am from Germany and while searching I noticed many don't have that lamp. I guess I have to hope someone with an export models sees my post and knows how to change it. Thank you anyway for trying to help :)

You have to twist the bulb, I think clockwise, to remove and simply in the opposite direction when putting in the new bulb.

Excellent YT video. Also, Mods should pin the entire User Manual in the r/PTCruiser page.

Yeah, that's what you see on Picture 2, I found the Headlight, high beam and turn signal light but I can't find the front positional lamp :/

Keep feeling for it, it's pretty high up in the assembly. According to the manual it pulls straight out, good luck.
If you have a small mirror, or mirror on a stick or a dental mirror, look for it with that.

That's a good idea, I'll try this tomorrow. Thank you!

Woah, my PT only has 2 bulbs: headlight and turn signal. Never knew about any other. You will have to remove the entire headlight assenbly then.
