My father has a 95 explorer in great shape but the headlights are yellowed badly. I bought him a new set and am wondering how big of a job it is to change them and if there are any neat tricks to help out. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the help. We are going to attemp it sometime today.

 

It's not difficult but I added some info and a photo.

 

We finally got around to changing out the headlamp assembly. Using the instructions that you gave me made it a breeze. It took us less than 2 hours to complete the job! Thanks for your help.

 

Glad it went smooth!
