really not difficult. raise the hood and manually open headlights until you can see the screws that hold the cover on. remove the screws and cover comes off. the rest is pretty easy. close the headlight and the bulb is held in by a metal trim piece like on most older cars. reverse the process to put cover back on.

Well eddie 20890 was right. It was a simple task on the headlamp replacement. On the  95 here are the steps in case anyone is interested:
  1. Turn headlight out manually (with the knob at the headlight motor) until the crosspoint screws are acessable, one on each side of the cover.
  2. Mark athe two torex screw brackets (I just made a couple pencil lines around the brackets) on the inside of the hood so the light covers are in the same position when reinstalling.
  3. Remove the torex screws holding the light cover on the inside of the hood.
  4. Remove the two crosspoint screws on the side of the cover, one on each side (outside of the hood. Remove the light cover.
  5. Remove the four crosspoint screws holding on the chrome Bezel. IMPORTANT....DO NOT TOUCH THE TWO ALIGNMENT SCREWS! Removing the lamps and installing ne lamps does not effect headlight adjustment if you don't touch the adjustment screws.
  6. Remove the Bezel and lift the lamp out of the opening.
  7. Disconnect the three prong connector plug from the back of the lamp.
  8. Connect the three prong lamp on the new headlamp
  9. Follow the above steps in reverse order to install new headlamp, bezel and cover.
  10. IMPORTANT...Be sure the inside cover attachment brackets are aligned with the marks you made so the cover will align and center in the hole.
  11.  Using the manual knobs at the headligh motor close the headlights into the hood.
  12. Close the Hood and operate the Headlights.                                                          Hope this helps anyne changing the headlamps.
