Check out the question below regarding headlights - it contains detailed instructions on removing the headlight assembly - which happens to be the best/easiest way to change the bulb.

And the Owners Manual also has illustrated instructions also.

Taurus headlight bulb replacement?

Very easy. 2002 Ford Taurus. Take a look at the entire headlight assembly. Look down on the assembly and toward the side closest the radiator you will see a small bolt to unscrew on each housing. Look toward the rear of the headlight and you will see two metal clips that need to come out. A medium size flathead will get them started but they should come staight up. The assembly will now pull out of the front of the vehicle. Be sure to unclip the small wiring harness. Uncrew the back of the assembly and you will see the back of the bulb. Detach wiring. Unscrew the ring holding the lamp. Remove old bulb. DO NOT touch the glass of your lamps! It will cause hot spots and the bulb will burn out. Take new bulb and notice the notches...they will orient the bulb correctly. Screw on ring. Attach wiring. Screw on the back of the assembly. Attach the wiring and install back into the front of your vehicle.

there is a plastic clip that holds in the bulb on the back side of the headlight under the hood, its a circular clip that turns either way and on some vehicles you have to take the whole fixture out(like a 2000 ford taurus) then the bulb comes out of the headlight assembly and has an o-ring that seals the water out and holds the beam in

Will v6 Mercury Sable engine fit 01 Taurus?

The Taurus and Sables come off the same assembly line - using many of the same parts. If the engine is the same - same year of vehicle - etc., then it is very likely the engines would be interchangeable.
