How To: replace the headlight bulb on 95 mustang
Hi,
I have a 95 Mustang GT and the driver side head light went out. I bought a new bulb (a L9007)...anyhow, how do I get the old one out? Behind the headlight there is a plastic ring, kind of like a nut, which I can turn counter-clockwise (from the point of view of the driver seat)..but it only turns about 1/4 - 1/2 of the way and that's it. Any tips, info would help! Also, about cleaning the headlights (they look cloudy)..can I just use Bon Ami or something on the outside of the plastic cover or do I need to clean inside where the bulb is? Thanks!!! |

How To: replace the headlight bulb on 95 mustang
Avoid touching the bulb with your hands, the oils from your fingers can
cause problems on some of them. As far as the "Ford Cataracts" the whole lens needs to be either refinished or replaced. If you use BonAmi on it, you will just make it worse, There are kits for refinishing your headlamps. SOme of the guys in here have used some and may have recommendations for you. here is a quick example that came up on Google http://www.mdwholesale.com/ Washing the inside of the lights is not advisable.

And if some of us can do it, anyone can. That creeping glaucoma really cuts down on candlepower. I had no idea how bad my headlights were - I just knew they were bad, but when I swapped in the new ones, the difference was stunning. I could see again. dwight |

I've tried a few different things on the head lights of my T-Bird and got
them better but not great, but then you still have all the stuff on the inside, which seems to be the worst of it. I say save up and get new ones they are not that expensive and you will appreciate them alot. Cobraboy '98 convert |

I would have just replaced them after having gone through the whole refinishing trip on our last pickup. It's a lot of work and it doesn't last BUT sometimes it's cheaper to waste a day than it is to buy new ones. KJK 2O|||||||O5 Libby |
