1. Remove the front bumper cover: This is usually the first step to access many components behind the headlights. This involves removing several screws and fasteners, potentially under the bumper and in the wheel wells. Consult a repair manual specific to your 1995 Firebird for precise instructions and locations.
2. Remove the headlight assembly: Once the bumper is off, you'll need to access and remove the headlight assembly itself. This usually involves disconnecting the electrical connectors and releasing several retaining clips or screws holding the headlight in place. Again, a repair manual is crucial here.
3. Access the adjustment gears: *Only after* removing the headlight assembly will you be able to see the adjustment gears. They're usually located on the back of the headlight housing and may be accessible by looking at the rear of the headlight assembly. These gears are often accessed using small, specialized adjustment tools or screwdrivers.
Important Considerations:
* Repair Manual: A repair manual specific to your 1995 Firebird is absolutely essential. This will give you detailed instructions, diagrams, and torque specifications. Trying this without a manual significantly increases the risk of damaging parts. You can find these online (e.g., Haynes, Chilton) or at auto parts stores.
* Tools: You'll need various tools, likely including screwdrivers (Phillips and possibly flathead), sockets, possibly a ratchet, and potentially some specialized tools for the headlight adjustment gears.
* Safety: Disconnect the battery negative terminal before working on any electrical components to prevent accidental shorts or shocks.
* Patience: This is not a quick job. Be patient and methodical, taking your time to avoid damaging parts.
If you're not comfortable with automotive repair, it's strongly recommended to take your car to a qualified mechanic. Improperly adjusting the headlights can be dangerous.
