how do you replace the headlight on a 92 960?

 

Do you mean the lamp or the whole headlight assembly?

I'll guess and assume that you need to remove the assembly, with the fog lamp. It has been awhile so this may be lacking.

Remove grille, unplug all of the connections to the lamps, remove the turn signal housing, from the back side there is a large tab that needs to be depressed to allow the turn signal housing to slide forward and out. Once that is removed, there are 4 10mm bolts to be removed. Two are on the edge where you just removed the turn signal and two are accessed where you removed the grill, these two are 90 degrees to the two at the turn signal.

Once those are removed, you will need to pull the assembly forward as there are a few alignment pins in the housing to clear.

Now that I think of it, once the grille is removed there are two torx screws that hold an some plastic with rubber edges to guide air into the radiator, that has to be removed to allow access to the two 10mm bolts.

The odd part is I will be doing this shortly, as my son just barely tapped someone at a red light, the nose of the car dropped as he hit the brakes, allowing the bumpers to not meet, so the bumper of the car took out both headlight assemblies, grille and bent the hood slightly. So that will be my late fall project once we get it back to the house.
