Title: Facelift headlight
Post by Waglet on Aug 4^th, 2008, 2:26pm

Wanted 1 passenger side facelift headlight without big stone chip like mine has at present. :-/
On a budget so can't pay a fortune for it ::)
Plus does anyone know how easy/difficult they are to change? My level of competence is low!

The removal is simple and it is detailed HERE (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/electrical/exterior/Headlampsremins.pdf). There are THREE bolts which hold the entire unit in. Two are easily seen BUT the third one is tucked behind the side light/indicator unit and you need to remove that and use a long extension to access the bolt. :)

The lenses aren't the same. The facelift one has the black inards while the prefacelift has the chrome one. You can of course cut out the inner bits and with a bit of mastic, magic a complete one!

Thanks Dazzer. Unfortunately I’ve done the job now. I purchased a headlight for £9.99. After much cursing I managed to remove the glass. When I removed the glass from the one I was changing it cracked and fell in half! Thank goodness it was the one with the stone chip I thought!
I mastic’d the ‘new’ glass back in and so far so good. Thanks for all the help everyone.
