Do you want to remove the entire headlamp assy or just the bulb?

Not a Taurus X?
There are headlamp bulb access covers to service the bulb's singularly on a Taurus. Once the covered are removed, rotate the bulbs 1/8 turn counterclockwise to remove from the assembly. Handle the bulbs by their bases only.

If you still want headlamp assembly removal illustrations, let me know and I'll email them.. It does require the front bumper cover to be removed to remove the H/L assembles..

  1. Sorry I'm taking so long to reply, I'm new to the forum and not use to how to maneuver through it. So as I understand it I have to take the front cover on top of the grille off. Then I can get to the lightbulb units and replace the bulbs,. Thanks for your reply.

Viewing the radiator support area from behind (L/R sides) you should be able to see the access covers shown for the bulbs on the backside of the H/L assemblies...
