how can your hand be too small? my hand is too big to change the bulb. the smaller the better. in this case at least

1. Your A/C refigerant is probably low. But topping it up might not fix the problem if there's something else amiss.
2. The headlight bulb comes out of the back of the light (under the hood). It's held in place by a plastic collar, which is sometimes difficult to budge by hand. It's sometimes necessary to (carefully) jog it loose with a screwdriver and hammer. The rest of the job (including replacement) can all then be done by hand.

first of all if you have stuff coming out of your a/c thats not a good thing you soulhd get it changed right away. if it has a moldy smell to the smoke like stuff you have mold growing in it and if not your a/c core is messed up. and for the headlights, cant you just pop the bulbs out from behind the housing.

Some water vapor from the vents isn't necessarily a sign of trouble. If the outside humidity suddenly goes up (like a rainstorm) and the inside of the car is very dry, it can do that. It doesn't really indicate leaking refrigerant. But if it does it a lot, your A/C is not working up to par.

Headlights - no, on a '92, they don't just "pop out"
