headlight removal

[Jesh]

well sense this is the place to ask stupid questions i guess i'll get to it. how do you remove the passenger side headlight? i can see some screws behind the turn signal that i believe should come out but i have no clue how to get to them, if someone has pictures of the headlight bracket or anything like that, would be very helpful thanks.

There isnt stupid question just stupid answer's lol. There's only four screws two in back of the turn signal and the other 2 you have to take off the grill.

how do i get to the screws behind the turn signal?

Well remove the turn signal all u gotta do is pull it out and that's it.

lol... i had a feeling it would be something simple. thanks man

 

There's a spring & 2 tabs that hold in the corner lights. Open the bonnet & you'll see a spring hook right behind the corner lights. Un-hook it & push the housing towards the front of the car. For the driver's side, you need to remove the overflow bottler to get to the hook.

By far more helpful than any manual.
Wait till you remove the front bumper, thats a fun one.

Bumers not that bad... well the first time, but if you were like me and had to do it 7 times in a span of 3 days you become a pro at it hahaha

 

I have a feeling by the time my FMIC is finally installed, I to should be a pro at it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I dunno if you dove into the headlights already or not, but in my years I think I've managed to snap every single bolt on on both headlights. Use PB blaster before removing and I would suggest applying some anti-seize before reassembly. Nothing is more annoying than flickering/bouncing headlights.

haha... 7 times in 3 days? thats not fun. i've dropped my tranny 4 times, and had the cylinder head off 5 times. i must say i'm getting pretty dang good at it

 

Luckily I had no bolts break. Appreciate the info about the PB for next time though.
