If one wants to remove sealed beam headlights, one can begin by loosening the screws on the retaining ring and then removing the ring. The front side of the headlight bulb should be slid out so that it can be disconnected from the cable assembly plug. On the other hand, one can install a new light bulb by joining the wiring assembly connector with a new bulb and carefully pushing it in its place. Retaining screws are used to attach the retaining ring in place after which the headlight trim is put back into position using screws. On the other hand, for composite-type headlights open the hood, and lower bulb access cover. Remove the locking ring and pull the bulb and wire harness plug assembly out. Cut the electrical wire harness plug free from the locking ring then remove it. To install a new bulb just need to clean contact surfaces, pass the locking ring over the lamp ends, and locate it in position on the lens door.

Disconnect the negative battery cable. For 2001 models, open the hood and remove the plastic headlight cover by prying up and removing the two retaining pins on the headlight housing, then release it from the body. Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the housing. Take off the plastic panel across the top of the radiator; on early models, it is attached with screws and plastic rivets, while on 1997 and later models, each side of the panel is hinged, allowing you to release a catch and flip the hinged cover up for access to the rear of the headlight assembly. Remove the screws and the turn/park light assembly. For 1996 and earlier models, remove the grille. Using needle-nose pliers, squeeze the plastic clips on the headlight housing to release it from the body. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Starting with the low beam adjustment, position the high intensity zone so it is two inches below the horizontal line and two inches to the right of the headlight vertical line. Adjustment is made by turning the adjusting screw closest to the fender as necessary to raise or lower the beam. The other adjusting screw should be used in the same manner to move the beam left or right.
