Einleitung

This guide is for the purpose of demonstrating how to remove and replace the headlights in a 1994-2004 Ford Mustang. There are no safety hazards for this fast fix, and the difficulty level is not high. To complete this fast fix, no prior mechanical experience is needed beyond knowing how to tighten and loosen a screw. Since the car is old, you may need to lubricate certain parts to assist in the removal of them, and some connecting pieces may be worn or broken. The bulb can easily be found at an auto-parts store.

Prior to beginning your guide, make sure that your car is off and the emergency break is on.
