How would one change a head lamp on a 1996 Ford Escort?

Answer 1

On the back of the headlight there is a locking ring holding the bulb in. First unplug the bulb, then turn the locking ring counter clockwise about 1/4 turn, May need to push the ring down a little bit to release it. Take out the bulb and replace being sure not to touch the new bulb with fingers as the oil in your skin will tend to make the bulb burn out quicker.
