In Reply to: How to change headlight? posted by Irvine on May 08, 2001 at 22:58:20:

5 or 6 screws around the perimeter of the black plastic grill (one centered right under the headlights) Use a magnetic screwdriver. Pull the grill straight forward and out.

3 small screws holding the chrome ring retaining the sealed beam headlight. These are staggered at different intervals around the headlight so make sure ring is turned same when replacing (mark top might help) Get new sealed beam and reverse process.

If you can handle this one, we'll move on to removing, rebuilding and replacing the transmission. Are you ready.... Seriously, you should be able to do the headlight.
