How do I replace the whole headlight assembly?

We have a 1995 Ford Contour. We're trying to replace the headlight assembly in it, with little success. I've read online that you should remove the grill, and if working on the driver's side, remove the battery as well, although it's very hard to find information specific to this model and year. We haven't done either of those. Is that necessary on this model? My husband is great with cars and works in auto parts, and even he had to give up on it for now. Step-by-step, exactly do we go about replacing the headlight assembly (not just the bulb) on this car?

SOURCE: What all should I replace while replacing the water Pump on my 2000 ford contour

That's a very good question...but I gather that this car has been taken care of and should be in very good shape and with economy the way it is..I see no reason to get a new car...My advice..Just get the water pump replaced and happy motoring....and don't let any mechanic try to sell you something that you don't need...I'm sure that you've heard the expression"If it ain't broke...don't fix it."..I hope this was heplful...PEACE.....

Where's the starter relay switch on a 1995 ford contour

The starter relay is mounted on the starter itself. To see if the relay itself is working, check for voltage on the small wire on the relay while someone is turning the key to the "Start" position. If you have voltage there but the starter doesn't work, then replace the entire starter and relay assembly.

1995 ford contour has a blown brake line on passangers rear. mechanic said the gas tank has to be dropped to replace, Is this true and if so how much of a pain is the whole operation?

There r ways around that if u follow the brake line u could cut the broken one right before the gas tank then flare it n connect a new line n run it on the side of the gas tank with wire ties . Also u can put a compression fitting on the line u cut after the gas tank that's Wat I did two years ago n they r still working fine .if u can get the flare kit do it that way cuz I belive they can fail u for the compression fitting

How to replace 1998 Ford Contour headlights (with diagram)

Step 1
Remove your Contour's front grille. You can do this by raising the hood and removing two screws that are located on top of the grille.

Step 2 Remove the headlight assembly. The headlight assembly is held into the front of your Contour by three screws. Two screws will be located on top of the assembly, and one on the bottom.

Step 3 Replace the headlight assembly, if necessary. If you are only changing individual bulbs, make sure you replace the correct bulbs. Each assembly holds three light bulbs, including the bright, dim and turn signal bulbs.

Step4 Replace the headlight assembly and reattach the three screws to hold it in place.

Step5 Replace the front grille of your Contour and the two screws that hold it onto the front of the car.


  • It is usually a good idea to replace bulbs together (in pairs). This will allow the bulbs to wear at the same rate.
  • If you choose to replace only the individual light bulbs, do not touch the new light bulbs. The contact of your skin on the bulbs will cause the light bulbs to burn out much sooner.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
