Owners of other Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and RAM SUV or minivan vehicles with similar headlight bulb housings such as the Town & Country, Patriot, Compass, Cherokee, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, and C/V Tradesman may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. Replacement headlight bulbs with their part numbers are as follows: Low Beam # H11, High Beam # 9005, Front Turn Signal # 7444NA, Front Side Marker # 2825 and DRL # 3157. No tools are needed to replace any of the driver side headlight bulbs. For the bulbs on the passenger side, you may need an 8mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet to remove the coolant overflow bottle. Front Side Marker Socket Take Off Top Air Box Pull Out Pop Rivet Fastener To change the Low Beam headlight bulb on either side, first move to the wheel well liner or "splash shield". Twist off the round access panel or "port" located just in front of the tire by turning it 1/4 turn counter clockwise. Set the cover aside in a safe place. The low beam bulbs in each headlight are located near the outer edge of the housing. (The next few steps are not pictured.) Reach in through the access hole and rotate the base of the low beam bulb 1/4 turn counter clockwise, pull it out of the housing and disconnect the electrical connector. You may need to use a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the power plug from the base of the old low beam bulb. Try to avoid touching the glass part of the new halogen bulb with your fingers or anything dirty in the engine bay. If you do get the new bulb dirty, wipe it clean with an alcohol moistened paper towel. Insert the new H11low beam bulb back in to the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place. Push the power connector straight on to the base of the new bulb until it clicks securely in to place. You can also reach the small front side marker light bulb sockets through the wheel well liner access hole. To replace the High Beam, Front Turn Signal or the Daytime Running Light bulbs on the driver side, you'll need to remove the engine air box. Begin by flipping down the two metal clasps on the right side, lift the top half of the air box off, and remove the engine air filter. Pop out the single green plastic friction fastener that holds the rubber gasket in place to the air intake tube. Pull Out Bottom Half Air Box Move Box Away Room To Access Bulbs Then firmly pull up the bottom half of the air box to disconnect the friction fasteners that hold it down to the engine bay. Move the bottom half of the air box out of the way. Now you can easily access the three bulbs within the inner part of the headlight assembly. Passenger Side Headlight Remove Coolant Tank 8mm Bolt Daytime Running Lamp To access the High Beam, Turn Signal, or Daytime Running Light bulbs on the Passenger Side, you'll need to remove the three 8mm bolts that holds the coolant overflow bottle in place. The top bolt is easy to find, the second one is a bit harder to remove and the third bolt near the bottom of the tank is fairly difficult to access. So try to be patient and take your time. Turn the bolts counter clockwise with the 8mm socket and ratcheting wrench to remove them. Set the bolts aside in a safe place.
