Hi, There are three (3) wing nuts that have to be removed to take the headlight assembly out. Once they are removed, you simply pull the assembly up & out. I have included a link that shows these wing nuts and the process of taking the headlight assembly out. Good Luck!
Is there a way to remove the headlight assembly from a 1992 Ford Thunderbird without taking it to a garage?
Yes there is! You need to get a pair of pliers (called "snapring pliers")to remove the retainers (the little silver "do-dads" holding the headlight assembly in place... on the back of the grille opening panel). There's 2 of them on each assembly. You get those off and the headlight assembly practically FALLS out!!
How do you change the drivers side headlight assembly in a 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette?
After you open the hood the whole headlight assembly can be removed by taking off the the two black plastic wing nuts on top holding the headlight assembly in. There is also another wing nut like bolt that is between the headlight assembly and turn signal assembly that must be removed. One you do this you have to lift up on the headlight assembly to clear the threaded studs that the plastic wing nuts were on and pull both headlight and turn signal light assemblies straight out. They both have to come out together. There are some clips that still hold all of this in, but it will come out when you pull it straight forward. I have done this several times and it seems kind of tricky the first time, but actually is pretty easy.
How do you remove the headlight assembly on a 1997 Bonneville if it still won't budge after taking out 2 10mm bolts the manual says to remove?
After removing the 2 bolts...remove the side marker light as well, then slide the headlight assembly toward the fender(about 1") then pull towards you, to release it from the frame. It should pop right out on top of you.
How do you replace a turn signal bulb 2005 Montana?
To replace the front turn signal bulb in a 2005 Montana, you have to access it from the engine compartment. Undo the front headlight assembly as per the instructions noted elsewhere. There is one screw (machine Head) on the outboard side of the headlight assembly, and one 'thumb screw' on the inner side to the assembly. I found it difficult to remove the headlight assembly, and I have found you don't have to. (You can break the housing, so don't try taking it right out) Just loosen it enough to get your hand behind the assembly. I would also suggest you remove the plastic fasteners from the top of the front bezel in order to make loosening the headlight assembly easier, and to prevent the possibility of damaging or breaking the front bezel. The plastic fasteners are easily removed with just a pair of pliers. Once the headlight assembly has been moved forward slightly, you can get your hand down the opening, and feel for the turn signal lamp assembly. Twist to remove. There is enough wire in the harness to bring the lamp assembly to 'the surface' where you can replace the bulb easily. Replace bulb and test. After testing, replace headlight, and then plastic fasteners at the top of the front bezel.
How do you replace the headlight assembly located on a 2002 Jaguar X Type?
You have to take the bumper out. Watch for hidden clips behind the bumper and work slowly. After removing the bumper taking headlight assembly out is as easy as removing couple of screws. Before you do that make sure you check both the bulbs and fuses for the headlights. Each light has it's own fuse

How do you change the light bulb in a 1993 grand am headlight?
For the drivers side, above the headlight assembly, there is a plastic guard. Rotate the unlock tab 90 degrees and swing the guard counter clockwise out of the way. Behing the headlight assembly, there is a carboard protective splash guard held on by 2 clips on the top. Pry the back of the clips aft, and simply remove them, and then guard. Reach through the opening that the guard covered to the bulb, and carefully turn on 1/6th turn COUNTER CLOCKWISE, and then pull the bulb straight out. I suggest loosening the bulb from above with an open end wrench, since its probably been in place for many years. After removal from the headlamp assembly, carefully loosen the 3 clips around the bulb taking care not to break them. Be gentle in all phases, and wear protective eyewear. Best wishes from Aurora, CO
Changing headlight assembly on 1999 camaro do you have to take the bumper off?
No. All bolts can be loosened simply by opening the hood. It takes some wiggling, but they come out without taking off the front bumper.
How do you change a headlight bulb on a 2001 Dodge Durango?
There are two methods. 1.) It is possible to maneuver your hand to the lock ring on each headlight assemble from inside the engine compartment. You must work "blind" -- by feel only. The lock ring rotates 1/4 turn to unlock. On the side of the engine with the battery, you must remove the front portion of the plastic battery box. 2.) This method is much easier. Three bolts (one at the top, two on the bottom) that hold the headlight assembly to the vehicle. Look directly at the headlight, and look in the gap between the top of the headlight and the vehicle fender, and also at the gap between the bottom of the headlight and the vehicle bumper. With the aid of a light, you should be able to see all three bolts. Using a socket and an extension to your ratchet, remove the bolts, pull out the headlight assembly, and remove the lock ring. TAKE CARE TO HANDLE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY GENTLY so as to not alter the setting of the headlight in respect to the headlight frame. By taking care, it will not be necessary to have the headlight(s) adjusted (for aim). I have a 2002 Dodge Durango, and I have used both methods. I prefer removing the headlight from the vehicle.
How do you install a replacement bulb in a 1997 ford escort?
It all depends on which bulb you are talking about. A headlight bulb is installed from the back of the headlight assembly. A turn signal bulb on the front is installed from the back of the lens assembly. A rear brake light/turn signal bulb is installed by taking the lens assembly off the car and pulling the socket out to replace the bulb. If you need a bulb in the instrument cluster you have to take the cluster out of the car. This is done by dropping the steering column to take the cluster out. If you want to replace a bulb in the side markers it is done by taking the bulb out of the lens assembly from the back. Tag light bulbs are installed by taking the 2 Phillips head screws out and removing the lens then pull the old bulb out and insert a new bulb. To replace a dome light bulb in the interior just pop the plastic lens off.
