Here at Diffee Lincoln, we are sometimes asked about DIY headlight restoration. While we think a professional solution is best, drivers in El Reno, OK can use a few simple tips for replacing headlights. The job is easy in most cases.
You'll first need to assess the work that needs doing. Replacing a bulb is much easier than replacing an entire headlight assembly. Most experts suggest that you make repairs to both headlights at the same time. This can help to prevent an unexpected headlight failure. You can use a parts manual to determine which parts you need. You can also ask the professionals at your dealer's service center.
Make sure that you gather all the proper tools before you begin the headlight restoration. This will include screwdrivers and nut drivers in the appropriate sizes. You will also want to have a level handy, and lubricant can be useful when removing older housing.
