How do I put in new headlamps for a 98 taurus?
V6
130000mi

It seems the receptacles are unreachable without removing lots of stuff

I'm thinking possibly only 3 bolts on the support and a pinch bolt must be loosened, I think it looks more complicated then it really is, pretty busy-looking in there

Thanks TaurusWheel. I got in there the old fashioned way--by bleeding and swearing

I tried the 3 bolts first, but didn't know about the pinch bolt--and still don't know what that is

i really appreciate your fast reply, thanks again!

Bleeding and swearing are the time-honored hallmarks of great mechanics...
