the corners are easy, pop the hood, unscrew the one screw holding it under the hood (its kinda a plastic stick that has a screw in it), pull the light towards the light to unhinge it from the other side (the light kinda hooks into the frame), and youre done

you will what? usually you don't resort to gay jokes on the newer guys
(gotta love typos... throw everything out of context)


yeah, there is only one screw holding the light in. if you look real close, the screw is surrounded by a white plastic bracket that can be traced to the corner housing.
and as Greeny said, if the joint breaks, don't sweat it, it'll be fine.

on mine ive got a screw up top of the headlight assembly connecting it to the actual headlight itself...and im failing to see that other screw you guys are talking about...maybe a pic of the screw would help me better pinpoint that area...sorry for the newb hassling i just wanna make sure i dont break the holder cause my cars got enough broken pieces on it from being broken into at work lol
