2002 lincoln town car signature, 60,000 miles,v8?
How do I replace the driver side headlight assembly?
Also, the primary hood latch won't close, the cable is movng- the spring is moving, but the actual closing part doesn't close over bar when hood is dropped. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help! :)

Headlight assy is one of the simplest I've ever done. Look for three black handles, pull them out 1 at a time the light is now out! Try a little lube on the hood latch!
