  Q: How do you replace sealed beam headlights and halogen bulbs on Mercury Lynx?

  A: To replace sealed beam headlights, first disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. Remove the headlight bezel screws and take off the bezel. Next, remove the headlight retaining screws without disturbing the adjustment screws, then take out the retainer and pull the headlight out enough to disconnect the electrical connector before removing the headlight completely. For installation, plug in the electrical connector, position the headlight, and secure it with the retainer and screws. Finally, place the headlight bezel back and install the retaining screws, ensuring to have the headlights adjusted by a dealer service department or service station as soon as possible. For halogen bulb types, open the hood and disconnect the electrical connector from the back of the bulb. Rotate the retaining ring about 1/8-turn counterclockwise and slide it off the base, then carefully pull the bulb straight out of the socket. Insert the new bulb into the socket, ensuring the flat on the plastic base is upward, align the socket locating tabs with the grooves, and push the socket firmly into the base. Slide the retaining ring on and turn it clockwise until it stops, then plug in the electrical connector, test the headlight operation, and close the hood. Adjust the headlights at a dealer service department or service station at the earliest opportunity.
