corner light removal?

omg.. this is like the dumbest thing i wrote so far. I'm trying to install a set of headlights. I cant seem to remove the corner light the ones next to the headlights off. I see the top screw which was pretty obvious but its not coming off. So i assume there is a bottom screw as well. I cant locate this bottom screw at all. Been then a couple of FAQ's and stickies but non show how to really remove it.

Oh and also there suppose to be 2 bolts to remove headlights right. i saw the first screw which was pretty obvious. But again i cant find the 2nd one

yah its a pita to get it off. There is a part where a metal nub pops into, once you take of the first screw pull out the light as much as possile to give you some room then take a long flat head screw driver and look for the nub stick it in there and turn it to pop out the light.

theres a couple screws for the headlight. for the corner light you just have to muscle it out once you get that screw out. it will come - just needs a little "positive" reinforcement.

The corner light has a ball and socket on the bottom. Just pull firmly but carefully from the bottom of the light, it'll pop out. When you re-install it, be sure to put the tab of the corner light behind the tab on the fender. The headlight screws, one is kind of far in, you just have to look. It's almost underneath the radiator support, if that's the one you can't find. Good luck!

i'm still muscling it right now. Its really a pain to get off. i feel like i'm gonna tear it apart or something. thanks guys i'll keep working on this

update_ well i broke the corner. Well not actually break. I can reinstall it normally. the ball joint thingy is never came off the connector but my corner came off. the plastic piece that goes to it snap off my corner. But now it makes installing and reinstalling a breeze :P

NOt that i think about it. this is such a stupid wierd design that nissan made. i dont see how it benefits.

If you're letting a little plastic cornerlight, kick your a$$, then you'd better start hittin' the gym. .................. Just kidding. Mine was tough the first time, a little tight, but the more you have to remove them, the easier it will get. Hmmmmm, I could have made a sexual inuendo there. Sorry, one track mind, much like MDeezy.
