  4. Unplug the electrical connector from the back of the bulb by gently pressing the release tab and pulling it away.
  5. Remove the old bulb by twisting it counterclockwise and pulling it out of the socket.
  6. Insert the new bulb into the socket and twist it clockwise to secure it in place.
  7. Reconnect the electrical connector to the back of the new bulb.
  8. Repeat the above steps for any additional bulbs that need replacement.

It’s important to handle headlight bulbs with care and avoid touching the glass portion, as oils from your skin can cause hot spots and reduce the lifespan of the bulb. If you’re unsure about replacing the bulbs yourself, it’s recommended to consult a professional mechanic or refer to the vehicle’s manual for detailed instructions.

By knowing the correct headlight bulb size for your 2009 Pontiac G8 and following the proper steps for replacement, you can ensure optimal visibility and safety while driving at night or in low-light conditions.
