The headlight is just a bulb. Open the hood and look at the inside of the head light cover. There is a knurled ring that twists and pulls into the engine compartment.

The bulb should pull out with the wires and detach from the bulb. (you may have to rock it lightly up and down as you pull on it it has a rubber o-ring)

Installation is the reverse.

Be very sure that you don't handle the bulb with your bare hands. The oil on your hands can get hot enough to bubble the headlight bulbs. Use a cloth or gloves to install the new bulbs.

How do you replace a headlight switch on a 1995 econoline van?

To replace the headlight switch, disconnect the negative battery cable and wait 10 minutes. Next, remove the screws around the switch. If there are no screws, pry the holding ring that keeps the switch in place away from the dashboard. Slowly slide out the switch and disconnect the wire plugs. With the switch in the 'on' position, push on the headlight case button and remove the switch. There may be a nut that needs to be removed. Slide the new switch into the housing. Replace the nut if you had to remove one. Carefully reattach the wire plugs. Slide the housing back into the dashboard. If you had to remove any screws from the dash, replace them. Test the lights to make sure they're working and then reconnect your battery cable.Ê
