headlight change how to

I know this has been addressed before here, but does any body know how to change out the headlight on a 95 F-150. Better yet does anybody have a diagram of it, I want to try to get it out without tearing it up. I tried to get the beauty piece off today, but I had no luck. I have no idea where my haynes manual is, my wife put it somewhere and it disappeared. thanks for the help

Are you trying to get the whole assembly out or just the bulb?

Not trying to be rude, but I did a search on this forum after I posted my question. I wasn't thinking about it when I wrote that post and I do have the info I need from the search. Thanks

open the hood, unscrew the 2 or 3 screwa that hold the plastic trim and turn signal assembly, pull gently from the bottom, there will be 2 plastic posts with metel springs holding the bottom in that face straight in or 2 plastic taps that face down, in which cas pull the top out a little then lift out and unhook the connections for the trun/marker lights. next look behind the headlamp unhook the wiring harness, now the fun part, there will be 2 diffrent types of conectors, 90 degree locking tab that you twist to lock or unlock, or 3 10mm nuts with studs. the bolt in type are the easyst. undo the tabs or nuts and gently jiggle the lamp whilt pulling straight out...volia! one headlight out.

Hey, I appreciate it but I already got it done and are you sure you're not talking about earlier model trucks. Mine 2 screws up top and 2 nuts in the middle and the assembly came right out. Mine is a 95 model, but thanks anyway and Merry Christmas everybody
