Most of the headlights do not unbolt to change bulbs. If it's a blown bulb you're trying to replace, look on the back side of the headlight housing. There should be a plug with wires attached going into the back. This plug should twist either to the right,left or up or down. Once you've twisted this plug out of the headlight housing you'll see the bulb you need to replace. Unplug the wire harness from the blown bulb and place it into the new bulb, being careful not to touch the new bulb with your bare hands as any oil or other contamination will cause these bulbs to blow as soon as they are turned on. Place the new bulb with harness back into the socket in headlight housing and twist into position.

Headlights Removal & Installation WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain a gas under pressure. Handling a bulb improperly could cause it to shatter into flying glass fragments.
To help avoid personal injury:

• Turn off the headlamp switch and allow the bulb to cool before changing bulbs. Leave the headlamp switch off until the bulb change is complete.
• Always wear eye protection when changing a halogen bulb.
• Handle the bulb only by its base. Avoid touching the glass.
• Do not drop or scratch the bulb. Keep moisture away.
• Place the used bulb in the new bulb's carton and dispose of it properly. Keep halogen bulbs out of the reach of children

To Remove:

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions in the beginning of this section.
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   • LH and RH engine under covers
   • RH and LH Front fender liners
   • Front bumper cover
3. 2 bolts and disconnect the connectors
4. Headlight assembly by pulling it forward
5. To Install:
   
   1. Install or connect the following:
      • Headlamp assembly
      • 2 bolts and connector
      • Front bumper cover
      • LH and RH front fender liners

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.
