ARGH, so, i did some searches but to no avial.

Here's my problem. One of my headlight headlamps is turning that yellow/murky/milky color and it's pissing me off.

Instead of cleaning it, which i read many posts about, i would like to replace the darn thing with a new assembly. however, i haven't the slightest idea how to remove and replace the whole bezzel.

i have a 1995 xlt, i believe it's the same light assembly from 95-01, at least that's what i'm told in my research.

i've seen pictures, apparently, there are only 3 screws, so it doesn't look that bad. i want my new Eurolites to shine through the new glass instead of yellow crap

help is much appreciated!!! thanks in advance!!
 






You first have to remove the grill. There are some screws holding it on along the top and clips that you just pull the grill out of on the bottom. When replaceing the grill I remove the clips from the body and place them on the grill and then push it back in.
Also remove the turn signal lenses by removing the screws on top and pulling out.
Come to think of it you have to remove the turn signals first as there is a screw holding the grill behind the turn signal on the side.
The headlights are help in with little clips that I used some needle nose pliars to squeese together and pull the light housing loose. Two were easy and the third a *****. Maby it was just me.
Not a hard job at all. Be sure to replace the drain/vent button on the bottom with your old one as your new lights may not come with one.
