Default Replacing 67 headlight bulbs

I want to remove a headlight bulb and replace, do I just remove the 2 side screws and the 2 bottom screws. Thanks Ian

And, then the three retainer ring screws behind the facia that you will be removing. Work the socket gingerly off the back of the old bulb...it may be stuck. Pull from the socket NOT the wires. Apply lightly some dilectric grease to the prongs of the new bulb. 10 minute job.

If you need to adjust your headlights, I would recommend having some of the plastic adjuster stands on hand. After 49 years, they’re brittle and you’ll probably break a couple of them. https://www.paragoncorvette.com/p-35...pport-kit.aspx

May not need to. In your darkened garage, turn your headlights on and see where they're aiming. They may be just fine, as is
