The aiming adjusters are broken om the driver's side headlamp of my 1998 Cadillac Catera. I want to replace the entire headlamp assembly with a new(used one0 which I can purchase from a salvage yard. The headlamp has two cap screws holding it onthe top, but I dont know how it's secured on the bottom? Tha t is my questio. How is the headlamp housing removed? Thank you for your help.

I think that you remove the grille, and then there is a filler panel between the lamp and bumper that lifts away. Both of these will reveal anymore fasteners.
