Question
Could you give me some suggestions on how to change the passenger side headlight (low) seal beam on a 1987 Cadillac (Brougham.  

Answer
Hi Russ,

     What you need to do is get a torx bit screwdriver and remove the screws that hold the chrome trim around the headlamps. Once that is removed then the 4 phillips screws that hold the headlamp retainer need to be removed and then the headlamp can be removed, unplugged and replaced. Make sure to try the new headlamp before putting everything back together because sometimes there is alittle corrosion on the wire terminals that the connector will need to be taken on and off 5 or more times to clean before the headlamp will work.

    Otherwise there is always the option of taking the car to your mechanic. LOL.  Hope that helps. Bill
