Hey guys,
I just finished up the DTM mod today, and i was planning on doing AE headlights next. I read up the how-to for AE's in the how-to sticky, but in terms of getting the headlights off the car, the write-up isn't much help. I was wondering if maybe you guys knew where I could find a write-up on how to remove the headlight assembly? i'm sure it's not too difficult, but being as it's almost dark outside now, i can't really get a good look under the hood. anyway, any links/advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

Two words:

Haynes

Manual

 

I have a chilton's, but that doesn't give any instructions. i'm not sure if i'll get a chance to pick up a hayne's before i try the AE, which is why i was asking if anyone had a writeup online.

 

Best advice anyone is going to give you

But seriously, you have to take the clearance lamp housing out first. This is the one next to the headlights. You will see two bolts going into the headlight there, take those out. Then if you look towards the grill there will be two more bolts. If I remember correctly, I had to use a small ratchet with a very small (maybe 3" or so) extension to get these two out because it is very tight to get a big ratchet in there on both drivers and passengers headlights.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
