HELP! I have the car in my garage right now, with the corerning lens and 3/4th of the grille out. I'm trying to take out the passanger side headlamp to replace it with a new one that I bought...but it is not working...help!

i did this when i first bought my car. did you buy the whole assembly or just the lense? there are two screws or bolts on the outside kind of by that clip that holds the corner lense on. And two nuts on the back side next to where the grill clips on. then it should come out. if you only have a lense use a heatgun to deattach the lense adhesive and take your time other wise you'll chip the glass and crack the plastic. how much did you pay for yours? I paid $116 for the whole assembly boneyard style

what did you use to remove the nuts? i got the two bolts by the cornering light out but cant get the two nuts off. i paid 30 + 10 shipping for a brand new assembly.

sh*t where'd you order it from? I used pobably a 10mm socket with an extension. I remember those were kind of hard to get to. dont forget to unplug the bulb too
