99 olds cutlass cierra
Is there a easy way to replace the original head lights with the silver star lights?
Looking at the quick disconect at the aft of the original lights it seems there is not enough handroom to remove and replace without a lot of stuff being removed,is there a easier why of doing it? Thanks  Tony

Answer
Get out the owners manual, and see if there is anything on changing bulb in the headlamps. I'm sure that there is some sort of clips that must be pulled up or out to release the lamps. GM cars seem to like having little tricks to remove the lamps. If you can't figure it out, any body shop will change the bulbs for a couple bucks. I can't remember right off the top of my head how they come out, but I'm sure that it's no big deal once you find the release tabs. they should pull straight up. You might have to remove a plastic shield covering the lamps and the radiator support to access them .Bill
