The Ford buckets are attached to FT top and bottom fiberglass flanges with 2 or 3 square drive screws. You can see the bottom screws and have to feel around for the top screws. You might be able to see the top screws by sighting through the open generator hatch. Before starting, use some blue painters tape to mark the alignment of the buckets to the front facia...will make replacement a little easier. Once the screws are removed the bucket will be loose and just unplug the bulbs from their sockets and take out the entire bucket. The inner and outer buckets are separate, and the outer bucket has the turn signal attached to it with 2 hex heads. I found the easiest way to pull the buckets out is to slide them aft, rotate lens down 90 degrees and ease it out the front. Swap lens assy's into the Ford buckets. Replacement is reverse, but just get the screws started before cinching them down...a small punch or dental pick is essential to align the holes back. Oh, and wear safety eye protection, there'll be tons of road debris up there. Woody.
