    1987 LeBaron convertible headlight swap

    Ok so I can KINDA see how it should be done BUT, being a clueless noob at this, I need help.

    I can tell that this is this plastic housing over the headlight assembly and radiator that needs to come off, but how does one access the headlights themselves? Do i just open the covers and remove from the front because for the life of me i cannot see how i remove them from the back like most cars.

    open the headlamp doors and unscrew the frame around the headlight, most people just undo the top two and bend the retainer down.

    Old topic, but a fun fact is that if you turn the headlights on, then go to the parking lights, the headlight doors will stay open so you can replace the headlights, wash them, whatever.

    I had mine for 2 years before I discovered the "auto off delay" when you turn off the car before the lights. lol

    Try a 2010 Sebring headlight. About a 2 hour job. Somebody from Az. didn't believe it and did it for me!

    Yeah, when I worked at AZ there were a few cars that we couldn't change headlights or batteries because of the difficulty.
