How do you replace the headlight switch in a 1989 Grand Marquis Headlights work but tail lights and dash lights do not tried to remove the dash panel but cannot remove the knob on the switch?

There is a small spring-loaded button on the top of the headlight switch. You'll see the button on your new switch. Press the button while rotating & pulling on the knob and it will slide out. The trick is, it's impossible to reach the headlight switch from underneath the dashboard. I removed the screws holding the fuse block, then pushed the fuse block in toward the front of the car, giving me room to get my hand in to reach the switch and the button.
Remove the dash bezel by removing the four screws from the top underside of the dashboard.
If you pull the old switch out of the wiring connector, you'll probably see at least one of the slots is melted and/or burned. You'll need to replace the wiring connector. Here's a hint: rather than snipping and splicing in the new wiring connector, use a small flat screwdriver blade to remove the wires from the old connector, then snap them into the new connector. You'll probably have to cut & splice the wire from the burned slot, but the rest should be usable in the new connector block.
The whole job took about 2 1/2 hours from beginning to end.

How do you remove the plastic cover over the headlights on a 2000 Ford Mustang?
You don't remove it per se, it is a complete housing that needs to be replaced. If yours are cloudy/foggy, look into some of the headlight restoration kits. If you have about an hour and $20, you can clean them up yourself. They will look better, and more importantly, you will see better at night.

How to replace Headlamp on 1994 Saturn sc2?
You cannot change the bulb you have to change the whole headlight. Which is actually cheaper than you think. It cost me 11.97 for 1 headlight. Saturn calls it a Sealed Beam 2e1 headlight. So to change this all you need is a torx head screwdriver to remove the old headlight and install the new one. The only dissapointment is there is no way to change the bulb, i wanted to make it a blue tinted color but of you try to break the seal... the headlight will not function properly.
How do you remove moisture in a headlight?
You cannot remove the moisture for the long term as the sealed beam seal has failed and moisture will continue to appear later. Usually a heat gun could be used to heat up the glass, careful not to melt any nearby plastic parts. Best bet is to replace the headlight.
