My headlight exploded........ what kind do I need ?

I was driving today and a rock or something hit my headlight. Not the amber one but the clear one. It put a hole the size of a quarter right through the glass. What kind of bulb is that ? Can I just buy it locally ?

Thanks

Kamil,

If you have the US lights which look like round headlamps inside a rectangular box, they are standard sealed beam units. You can buy them anywhere, NAPA, AutoZone, PepBoys, the local gas station, etc. Jim

you need to remove the plastic headlight surrounds first then you can r+r the headlight bulb from the front of the car.
