to change the headlight assembly lift the cover panel in front of engine compartment. there are 3 sections all together the outside secs are for access to headlamps. im guessing that you are replacing the whole light assy. there are 2 10 millimeter bolts on top just behind lamp housing. remove these and housing will be free. to remove the housing you need to release the side marker lamp housing. there is a wire spring clamp in frt inside. pull it forward and in and marker will release. lift headlamps up slightly and then work them around til you can remove them. unplug headlight bulbs and unscrew blinker bulb. to put back in make sure you get the plastic tabs on back of housing in their slots or the housing will bounce around on you. also make sure you clean halogen bulbs with alcohol swabs so there is nothing on them or they might blow. do not touch bulb after cleaning
hope this does the trick for you

i did mine myself on 97 sts. cost for reg was 60 bucks. it took me about 15 mins to replace so labor should be 1hr or less.
Happened to my 97. The alternator went out. Had to replace it and get a new battery. No problems since.
part and labor?
cost 3-4 grand to replace
These units are sealed. You have to replace the whole unit.
Are you replacing the bulb or the entire assembly? - thunderheart the car guy
i need a 97 cadillac diville service manual!
Why is your 97 cadillac deville instrument cluster not working?
it is under the plenum(top of motor) it is a complete unit w/ housing....pain in the ass to replace.
The complete headlight bucket assembly comes out so you can replace the bulbs easily. Open the hood, stand in front of said headlight, notice two locking tabs sticking up behind the headlight bucket, with a little effort pull up and wiggle each tab out, now wiggle the entire headlight assembly out in the open, twist and remove headlight socket in question, reverse proceedure to install.
The type of engine that can be built into a 97 Cadillac is the V8, 4.6 Liter, Transmission.
The '97 is OBDII. There are 4 different O2 sensors on the '97 Cadillac. http://www.airbagcrash.com
