How do I remove the headlight assembly on a 1994 Ford Taurus?
The lens has moisture in it and has blown the lamp. I have looked and just simply can not figure this out . Any help would be greatly appreciated

the assembly is held in by 2 slots and a handle, behind the headlight you will see 2 long pieces of metal that slide up and down, they are against the radiator support, you may have to pry on them a little but both will slide up then you can remove the assy, when you put the new assy in just slide the bars down, this will lock it in place, see if the assys move if not your done, a cheap way to remove water is to get a 1/8 drill bit and drill 2 holes in the bottom of the lens to let the water out, not a proper fix but it does work
To replace the head lite bulb you need to open the hood..then look straight down and just behind the head lite. look inside for a black thing that goes into the head lite.
It is round and black and you must grab it and turn it like you are unscrewing something.
It will make about a 1/2 turn for it to come loose. Think it’s left is loose right is tight..
So grab it and try and turn it to the left.
It holds the lite bulb in place and once you get it to turn you pull it out with the lite bulb attached to it. It will be a tight fit so may take a couple times to work it loose.
You then pull the bulb out …try moving it back and forth a bit..it will come out…
If you live in a warm area leave the bulb out for a day and the moisture should go away.
Make sense.?
Or you could get a Haynes or Chilton manual and have pictures to show you.
