2002-2003 Headlight Disassembly
Alrite I know that this is a touchy subject with everyone because it's kind of giving away hints to theives on how to successfully remove headlights. However, when they steal your lights they don't care what kind of damage they do. Me...I care.
So basically I plan on doing the Clear-out of my turn signals on the Headlight Assembly and need to take the Headlight out. I've taken the screws out correctly but it's just a matter of yankin out the light. Any advice you guys can give me please chime in. If you feel like it's not a good idea then at least PM me. I'm getting annoyed that I can't get the lights out cause this is a mod that definitely needs to be done to my max. Thanks.

http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/clear_HIDs.html If you havent seen the site it's good.
I jsut tried every which way until they came loose. The ball pin is tricky though.

Thanks for the link. Appreciate it. However, I've looked through that site before and I have those instructions printed out as my guide. However, I'm tellin you...that ball pin does not want to come out at all. It's extremely annoying. Any other help/ideas anyone can provide for me would great.

Just pull like crazy. One thing to mention that I don't believe is on housecor's site is that when you put the light on the cookie sheet in the oven, put a towel under it so that it does not directly touch the cookie sheet. I don't know if it is necessary or not, but it seemed like a good idea to me and it worked fine. Good luck man.

not at all, the original sealant will work fine, just insert the headlights back into the oven for another 10-12 mins to get the sealant sticky again and click the tabs back into place, i used a sealant ( got at home depot, goop wether stripping sealant found in the glue section, silver tube) just to be safe when headlights were bcak together and i have no leaks or condensation in the past 4 months
