open your bonnet and look down, inside the engine bay and behind the light their should be a round plastic cap, attached to the light sitting directly behind ittwist this to the left and remove. now you should be able to see founr exposed wires, two leading to your parking light and leading to your main head lights. To remove the bulb of the main headlight, undo the small clip which holds it in place n gently evpose the blown bulb, with the wires still attached. now remove the bulb by pulling it out and replacing it with a new one. now test the light and insure it works, if so work backwards to reclip the light and place the cap back on. if the light still does not illuminate, it maybe that you have blown a fuse, which could also stop the light from functioning.

You don't, as there is no 1997 Ford Fairmont (in the U.S., anyway)
Begin by removing the wiring harness from the back of your 1997 Pontiac Bonneville headlight. Remove the headlight assembly retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install your new headlight.
There is no such animal as a 97 ford fairmont.
There are 4 screws located under the rubber on the edges of the headlight. These have to be removed in order to get the headlight out.
You replace the bulb the same as a 1998, which is answered further down the page.
There are two metal clips behind the each headlight. Pull these upward, and the entire headlight will come out very easily. To replace the bulb, do so without touching the glass parts of the halogen bulb,and replace the headlight. Secure with the two clips. See, it was easy.
if you just pull on it real hard it should just pop out
Yes you can just replace the headlight bulbs. First you have to take out the cover by the battery. Then unscrew the cover by the radiator and simply lift it up to take it off. The light bulbs are visible at this time.
there are actually no screws. pop the hood and look for the plastic tabs above the headlight...one on each side of the headlight. pull them straight up and voila'.
there are little clips on the back you take off and it should just slide out
