Why can't I take off my headlights? help please!!!
 
I dont know why I can't figure out how to take them off. I looked all over the forums and everyone was giving very vague descriptions. I need some pics or some one explain it to me again. PLEASE HELP!!! this is drving me crzy im trying to make the AE headlights. I took the two bolts off that were hidden by the corner light. Is the headlight suppposed to come off from the black plastic housing behind it? or just the lens and the lamp itself. Please help and thanx for helping. i really app. it!!!

There are two more bolts on the other side on the back right by the radiator. You have to access them from inside the engine compartment. There is also a clip that clips the grill to the headlight. The whole housing comes out as a unit.

Hope this helps,

That's right, The 2 bolts are kind of hard to see, and get to but I've taken mine off before.

Removing the headlights is the easy part. :gotme: Wait til you start prying the headlight housing apart. :hide:

If you cant pull it of with minimal force something is still connected.

There are 4 nuts holding the headlight in place. Two are visible on the side once the corner light is take out. the other two are close to the radiator (on the driver side the 2nd one is semi blocked by the fuse box).
