You have to remove the front bumper to get at all the bolts holding in the headlights. Here's what I remember on my 92...

- Unscrew, unplug front turn indicator lights, remove from bumper. There are 2 bolts behind each light holding bumper on.
- Unscrew both screws in each front wheel well for bumper.
- Remove nuts in engine bay holding bumper on. One is down near the cruise control module, and the other one is near the battery tray. I had to remove both the battery and cruise control module to get to them
- Profit!

Well, if the bulb you're taking out is already bad, then it doesn't matter if you touch it. Just don't touch the new bulb you're putting in. The oils from your fingers can get on the bulb. When the bulb heats up to normal temp, the oil can cause the bulb to explode.

The black collar around the headlight bulbs should turn allowing the bulb to be removed. Installation is reverse. Remember, don't touch the new bulb.

Thanks, but on the passenger side bulb (low beam) will I need to remove the battery, because the way it looks it seems I will need to....? If so how easy is that?
