How do you replace the headlamp assembly bulb on a 1986 1995 Taurus?

According to the Chilton's manual, there are only 3 nylon u-shaped clips holding the headlamp assembly in.
After releasing the headlight assembly:- Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb. Now the headlamp is free to work with.
- Remove the bulb from the lamp assembly by pulling straight back.
Do not twist, as there are alignment slots built into the lamp assembly socket. It may take some effort to remove the lamp because it has a rubber o-ring type seal - try a bit of wiggling side-to-side while pulling
- Insert new bulb into headlight assembly - don't touch the glass - use gloves, paper towel, or similar
Make sure that the flat surface of the bulb socket is facing upward, and is firmly seated
- Re-attach retainer ring by rotating clockwise
- Reconnect the electrical harness
- Re-install headlamp assembly
- Do not touch the glass of the new halogen bulb - the oils in the skin will shorten the life-span of the new bulb, or possibly cause the bulb to explode when first turned on
If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol before being used
- I would also suggest referring to the Owners Manual (if it's still around ;)) - it'll have illustrated instructions on bulb replacement procedures.

Are you doing this because the lens is cloudy?
I had a problem with the lens hazing and using some aluminum polish to remove the haze.
Worked like a charm.
Reach around the back of the headlight, where the wires go into the headlight and turn the assembly counterclockwise. The bulb should then pull straight back. If you have a replacement bulb with you you could look at the locking hardware and figure out how it all connects.
it has to want to change... everyone should have a shop manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual(wiring diagrams and more detailed info) available in the reference section for FREE....make copies of the right sections, and fix it like a PRO!! good luck Dave
Only the bulb is replaced. Look for the bulb holder at the back of the light lens.

How do you replace the headlight bulb located on a 1986 Chevy Corvette?
You must stop the headlight in the up position. Sometimes you have to do this manually, with the over-ride on the headlamp motor.It's best to do this with the hood up. There are two screws in front of the headlamp on the bottom that must be removed. Then turn the assembly to the partially down position to remove two more screws; one on either side toward the rear of the assembly. This will enable you to remove the cover. Then simply remove the screws that hold the chrome frame around the bulb and replace. Reverse procedure for install. CAUTION: be sure not to mistake the adjustment screws for the retaining screws, as your headlamps will be out of allignment. when the headlight is up..or {on position}..it can be changed.. !!!!
