• Q: How to replace the headlight bulb (HID) on 2001 Cadillac Catera?

  A: Before handling a headlamp bulb (HID) it is essential to disconnect the negative Battery Cable because the high intensity discharge system works with dangerous voltage and current levels. Begin by removing the headlamp capsule and afterwards extract the lamp cover cap screws that are embedded in the cap. Move the lamp cover cap which contains the high voltage cable grommet away from the lamp socket before you disconnect the high voltage plug by rotating it in a counterclockwise direction. The headlamp capsule requires you to remove the xenon lamp fastening ring by turning it counterwise and extract the xenon bulb from its position. Secure the xenon bulb by rotating clockwise into the headlamp capsule while using the xenon lamp fastening ring to lock the installation. Connect the high voltage plug to the xenon bulb by rotating it against the clockwise direction. Reinstall the lamp cover cap with high voltage cable grommet into the lamp socket before securing the headlamp cover cap screws by tightness to 2 n.m (18 lb in). Position the headlamp capsule into the vehicle while re-establishing contact with the battery negative cable.
