How do you change the headlight bulb in a 2005 Lincoln Town Car. There isn’t even enough space behind it to fit my fingers and there does not appear to be any bulb housing back there to twist and unplug. Do you have to take out the whole headlight?..how? Thanks to anyone who would advise. ---

2 bolts at top edge of lamp on radiator support. Lamp assembly pulls forward. 5 screws on plastic cover to access bulbs. ---

Another piece of advice… go to Sears Automotive. They are very reasonable and have all the “gadgets” needed to make it a simple process. (No, I don’t work for Sears… LOL! )
