Special tool to remove a headlight?
I've run into one of Ford's 'better ideas' while replaicing all my '95 F150's front lamps with diamond-cut units. Apparently, in all Dearborn's wisdom, we are protected from headamps that spontaneously eject from the vehicle by the invention of a Edited for content by FTE clip that holds the adjusters to the steel panel behind them. I'm told I need a unique tool (that nobody local seems to sell) to pull these E-clip-type things up and off so that the headlamp will come out. Hmm....after dealing with headlamps falling out of my prior vehicles a total of ZILCH times, Ford found a cure for a non-existent disease! Kudos!! Now my truck sits, lights tossed aside, bulbs hanging, trim...somewhere I don't recall anymore....while I sit here, venting at you folks. In the 90-degree heat, it was best I stop, cuz I was looking at the crowbar a little too long.
I tried to side-step this moronic procedure by turning the adjusting screws out all the way, but NATURALLY, the top/inner on the driver's side is seized and stripped.
Sooooo.......any ACTUAL 'better ideas' out there???
