Ford Repair: 1985 Ford Tarus-Headlight, ford tarus, headlight condensation


Question
Condensation in passenger side headlight.  Am told it will not pass inspection and the entire headlight assembly needs to be replaced.  Is this an "at home " job?  Does it need to go to the shop?

Answer
If you are mechanically inclined at all you should be able to do a headlamp swap. After you get the new one, observe where the mounting points are and figure out what to remove. I don't think it is technically difficult, just knowing which bolts/screws to remove. You may have to remove the parking light to get to one of the bolts.
