Answer
Hello Ron,
When the car is cool, remove the cap on the radiator, and make sure it is full in there, as well as the correct level in the reservoir.
If it has an electric fan for the radiator, make sure it is coming on and running when the car is warm and just sitting.

Some headlights are replaced from behind, like where the wires connect, and some are replaced from the front.
Where the wires connect, if you can see a large ring around the wire connector, holding the light in, then you need to take steps to get to it.
If it has a sealed beam headlight, then they are replaced by removing a retaining ring from the front.

Ask a parts house to show you what bulb yours uses.
