How to replace the headlamp assembly?

[mustangaustin34]

I just purchased two new replacement headlamps (mine were chipped and cracked) and was wondering what the step-by-step directions are...more specifically, does the grill need to be removed? Thanks for everyone's help.

They simply unscrew from the back. I belive there are three screws. Two of them have those plastic white gear levelers on the back. I wouldnt think you'd need to remove the grill...

Once you have the headlamp assembly removed, then the bulb just pops out along with the bushing.

Wow....that person disassembled a LOT. I recently removed a bunch of that stuff (to replace parts after a wreck) and I didnt think you'd need to do all of that. I simply unscrewed those white gears that I mentioned earlier and the lamp came out...

I supposed the reason he did that was because he was also replacing the headlamp bezel (black plastic attachment)....

Elton H is correct with that link, I had to do all that because I did a projector retrofit. This is the only way to remove the headlights.

The yotatech link isn't working, any other option?

I removed my grille to get at the headlamps and pulled the entire headlamp assemblies when I did my retrofits.

Removing the filler panels under the headlamps was probably the trickiest part, otherwise it was pretty straight forward.
