headlights mondeo mk 1

[mickj]

Hi i have just become a new member, although i,ve had my mondeo for about 10 years now with very few problems.

But at the last MOT it failed on a few things one important being dicoloured headlights.

because of the expense involved,I have ordered new ones and would hope to replace them myself.

I have now heared that it is a very difficult job to do, and I would appriciate any advice anyone could give me.

With thanks

its not that difficult to remove the headlights

1. remove radiator grill (on two clips if i remember)

2. undo three bolts holding the light unit in, once undone slide the unit forward

3. dissconnect the multiplugs at the rear and the unit should be free

refitting is the reversal of removeing, the headlight bolts should be tightend to 6nm bot do not worry to much as long as you don't over do them.
