Here is the recall info.

The vehicles affected by this recall are certain ‘92 & ‘93 model year Ford Thunderbirds and Mercury Cougars. The problem; the headlights turn off, then come back on after driving with the fog lights on. Ford is replacing the headlight switch and if necessary the electrical connector for the headlight switch. Repairs for a safety recall are to be performed at no cost to the vehicle owner, even if you are not the original owner. In addition, if the headlight switch was replaced before the recall, the owner is entitled to a refund for repairs. But the owner should still bring their vehicle in for inspection. Why? The replacement part may not have been of the new design.

I need to replace the entire headlamp assembly units on both the driver and passenger sides of a Mercury Cougar V6 2.5l. The car was built in 2000 and badged as a "FORD COUGAR" where it was...

It will cost a fortune to buy brand new. You can find lot of second hand ones on ebay.co.uk and ebay.com. Lot of ebay sellers in UK wont ship overseas. If you are in USA then you can find on US ebay and there are heaps available. Use a headlight restoration kit and the light will become brand new again. If you need further info, let me know.

How do you adjust the height of the dip headlights on a 1999 ford cougar please.

2 ways. One on the dash board you have a 3 level adjustment scroll switch and secondly pop the bonnet and on top of the headlight assembly you will find adjusters that can be adjusted with hex socket or hex key (allen key/socket) You will find headlight beam symbols with adjustment angle marks near the adjuster. Let me know if you still cant find it. I will post pics.

I need to install the Headlights on a '90 cougar. What tools will i need and what proceedures to take?

Do you just need to replace burned out bulbs or the entire headlight assembly? I replaced the assembly on my '90 Mercury Cougar when the lens cover came off (evidently while driving...it was just gone one day). Turns out you couldn't replace just the lens, had to replace entire assembly. I found one in a pick and pull junkyard and it was quite inexpensive. The assembly was held in place with three or four spring clips which can be removed with a pair of fine-nose pliers, but be careful, due to the age of the car, the spring metal in the clips is somewhat brittle, I had one of them break.

Headlights

they are not on any fuse, headlights are never fused, they have what is called an intermittent circuit breaker built into the main light switch.
