Question
2005 dodge Stratus, Coupe, SXT, 2.4L, 16 valve, how do you replace the headlight bulb on the right side.

Answer
Hi Kirby,
I am not so familiar with the '05 Stratus Coupe. I suspect that it may be a Mitsubishi built car with a Dodge name plate on it. If that is the case, the the most recent manual I have for that specific situation is the '00 Sebring/Avenger manual. On the other hand, the '05 manual that I have for Dodge Stratus only says that it deals with the 4-door sedan but if the headlamps are the same on your coupe as on the sedan then I can show you how to remove the headlamp assembly entirely in order to get to the bulb. Let me know if that is the case. I need to know your email address so I can send you a couple of pages attached to an email. To do that you have to ask a new question (not a follow-up question) in which you enter your address in the text section, and then be sure to click on the "keep question private" option or the software will erase the address. I know you have to give the site your address but I never see that, so I ask you to let me know it this way.
