Open the hood. Inside you can find where the headlamps are. Unscrew them from the chassis. Remove the bulb and replace it in the headlamp housing now that it is hanging out. Replace the housing on the chassis, and screw it back on.

Are you changing the bulb or the whole assembly?
The last Ford headlamp assembly I replaced was in a '98 Windstar. There were four screws holding the assembly into the unibody. They were very hard to get at, as I remember they were accessible from the engine side. Ford is usually pretty unoriginal. If it works in one car, they usually use pretty much the same system in all their vehicles for a few years, so that is where I would start. Look for four screws, two on top and two underneath. They are pretty deep in, as I recall, so you aren't going to see much but a hole in the plastic, but if you put a screwdriver in there you'll feel the screws.

Go to the ford dealer and Trade it in, seeing as the headlamp is worth more that the KBB
