Hi all!
I have a 2002 Tl, S type and when it rains my headlight assemblies get a lot
of fogging and water droplets on the inside. I presume you all would agree that
I should simply order some new ones. But to my question, can I handle the replacement proceedure myself. I am fairly handy and with reasonable tools.
It is a big job? Can anyone direct me to or email me specific instructions?
Is the proceedure described in an owners manual, if so is the section available
online?
I appreciate any advice including where to buy new assemblies.
Thanks!
John

 

people take them out all the time. to clear them and black them out. should not be a hard job.

 

I just replaced the "BULBS" on my front headlights. The illumination was poor at night time and I could not figure out why. So, first I have no experience! Unless the headlight lens is broken/cracked/whatever, if so your on you own. If not, to replace the bulbs one just needs small hands to reach down behind the headlight after removing the plastic covering, remove the electric plug and "twist- out" the bulb. Reverse the process to complete the job. The small hand is needed for the small space and the twist-out may be difficult but all in all it is easy and no tools were necessary. If I remember the bulbs cost approx. $20 each. Good luck.

 

Is the car out of warranty?

Here is a DIY on removing the headlight to clear it. go as far as taking it out.
