Dims are blown how do I replace

If you meant the front headlights, there are the standard bolts to undo on the front of the headlights (accessed with the bonnet up) but there is a "secret" bolt that you need to access from inside the wheel arch at the rear of each headlight to allow you to remove the headlight casings and replace the bulbs.

How do I replace the front bumper in order to replace the front headlights?

You shouldn't need to remove a bumper to replace the front headlight. Simply open the hood, and you should be able to see the back side of the headlights in the engine compartment at the front. There will be bolts/clips holding them in place.

Loosen these and pull out (you can disconnect the electrical supply too) and replace the bulb, then put back together the same way you took it apart.

How to replace 1998 Ford Contour headlights (with diagram)

Step 1
Remove your Contour's front grille. You can do this by raising the hood and removing two screws that are located on top of the grille.

Step 2 Remove the headlight assembly. The headlight assembly is held into the front of your Contour by three screws. Two screws will be located on top of the assembly, and one on the bottom.

Step 3 Replace the headlight assembly, if necessary. If you are only changing individual bulbs, make sure you replace the correct bulbs. Each assembly holds three light bulbs, including the bright, dim and turn signal bulbs.

Step4 Replace the headlight assembly and reattach the three screws to hold it in place.

Step5 Replace the front grille of your Contour and the two screws that hold it onto the front of the car.

It is usually a good idea to replace bulbs together (in pairs). This will allow the bulbs to wear at the same rate.
If you choose to replace only the individual light bulbs, do not touch the new light bulbs. The contact of your skin on the bulbs will cause the light bulbs to burn out much sooner.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
