The Sport headlight surrounds are held in by four clips. the bottom ones are to come out first. pull on edge next to bumper, then work around to the top ones. The surrounds do crack fairly easy.

SOURCE: how to remove headlight assembly on 2004 suzuki

There are a combination of 3 nuts and bolts for each side...all are 10mm. Two bolts are on top of the assembly, attaching it to the top of the frame/radiator support. The third nut is on the bottom and to the left (if drivers side) or the right (if passenger side). Remove the nut, and with a little bit of wriggling it will pop right out.

Remove headlight cover
The headlight cover is not really a cover...it is the assembly which needs to be removed completely from the car to access the bulb hole that is the only access to the interior surfaces of the assembly. Lots of screws and awkward positions to get it out. Best bet, leave it alone or pull the bulb socket and use very long q-tips to clean out moisture!

My ford sport track is stuck in 4 low
Disconnecting any electrical, as you should know,would
eliminate any chance of the transfer motor working.

You need a wiring diagram & some knowledge of the
system to work on it.

I suspect the motor failed,remove it & try powering it up
out of the vehicle.

We don't have any reference material to help you,
we use the site the same as you,from home,no ties

99 olds culass headlight bulb replacement
Look at the top of the headlight assembly. There is a plastic panel on top of the assembly that is held in place by two plastic pins. Remove those pins by lifting the center of the pin and then pull out the pin. Remove the panel. Then you will find two small plastic levers that will lift about 1/2 inch. They do not come out but they will release two studs that secure the assembly. After the assembly is released, slide it forward to access the bulbs you need to replace. Installation is the reverse of these procedures.
