Replacing 96 Bronco Headlights

I need to replace the headlights on my 1996 Bronco (full size). Does anyone know of a link that describes how to get them out?

Any description would help.

Thanks!!!

Thanks. I found this but it doesn't look like a 96 headlight. I saw on a 2000 model there is a clip but I can't find what releases the headlight assembly.

Look it up here instead. It's probably in the Body section, but maybe Electrical. There are 2 nuts down low, and many people recommend removing the battery & overflow/washer tank for easier access. There's a recent thread in one of the forums with pics.

hey steve!
FYI it's the same manual. Auto zone just placed the same chilton manual on their site. I like it because when i find the part or problem i am already on a site that i can look for it on.

Thanks guys... I checked this one and it is under electrical. As luck would have it, figure 2 doesn't display!!!

They may be similar, but this diagram doesn't look like the 96 headlight which is not the larger squared off one of previous years.

Maybe I'm going about this all wrong, but I can't even get the chrome trim piece off. It looks as if the turn signal is part of that.

Thanks for the information... I'll keep checking. )

Figure 4 does show the correct 96 headlight.

OK I added that diagram to the Technical Drawings photo album in my signature link. The mystical fasteners are in red.

You should edit that out of there or you'll be getting spam. If it's too late, ask a moderator to do it for you.
