Are there any instructions on replacing the headlamp assembly such as prying or alignment on this job? I am trying to be an indoor wheelchair mechanic trying to help/teach my wife to replace it. A deer decided to run in front and crack open the bulbs to the weather and she has been pulled over twice. Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi,

Replacing the assembly isn't too bad on this vehicle. If you look at the first four pics attached below, I have provided the directions for removal and replacement.

As far as aiming, it should be done using a mechanical aimer. I did list the directions for aiming for your reference. They follow the removal and installation directions.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions or need help.

Take care,

Joe
