Question on removing front headlights and side markers. 93 5.0

I am going to be tackling this project today after work (replacing 6 piece headlight assembly and wondered if there are any tricks to it or is it just straight forward? Thanks.

straight forward

Wear gloves. It is a tight fit for some of them.

Also, they come out in order, which I *believe* is inner middle outer when they are being removed and the reverse when being installed. Or maybe it's the other way around, I can't remember off the top of my head.

I believe that it is the lower nut on the inner lights that has to be accessed from below.

It is easiest to take the outer and inner lights out first, then the headlight. Install is reverse of that. I usually start on the outside, since it's the easiest to get to.

Straight forward some bolts are hard to get to but easy enough to figure out. Just grab a 11 mm wrench and go from there. Just remember not to touch the headlight bulb with bare fingers only hold the plastic end

Most aftermarket headlights fog up because the seam where the lens meets the backing isn't glued properly leaving open gaps where water and moisture get in, you have to put a bead of glue all the way around the seam to keep water and moisture out. a hot glue gun works perfect, it puts a glue weld bead on, sealing the lens permanently. Also don't overtighten the nuts.

Nice color, but I'm a little biased.

New clean headlights make such a difference in overall appearance of the car. Nice work!
