Lift the hood and remove the upper and lower sight shields by removing the seven plastic retaining pins. 3. On the headlamp assembly, remove the three headlamp attaching bolts (8mm socket). Replacing headlamp bulbs - lowbeam 1. Remove the headlamp assembly as described under the Replacing exterior bulb header. 2. Remove the four T20 torx head screws holding the bulb retaining cover on. 3. Turn the bulb counterclockwise and remove it by pulling the bulb straight out. 4. Disconnect the electrical connector. Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of children's reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlamps are operated. Install the new bulb in reverse order, while also replacing the seal on the bulb retaining cover. The kits for replacement seals are avaliable at Lincoln or Ford dealers. 86
