anyone help me on how to remove corner lights?

anyone know how to take out just the corner lights? i know that top screw that's visible, where are the other screws? if there are any... and does that headlight have to be removed also?

It's a ball N socket at the bottom. You've got to manuever the top black clip above and out of the fender, then grip the light and PULL FORWARD...not OUT to the right or left...pull towards the front of car.

Dont be scared to break it, if it does...it fits almost just as well, and it's not a pain in the azz to get out next time

or pull it out far enough, and use a flathead to wedge it out of the socket.

It can be a B if if hasn't been taken out before but it will make sense once its out.

Pull like a mother f'er! Pull til you think its gonna break, and then pull harder.
Great design, thanks Nissan!

wrap a rag around a long screwdriver and wedge it between the corner light and the head light in an area closer to the bumper than the hood. The ball / socket joint is closer to the bottom of the corner light. Then pry that beotch open. Good luck.

just pry it with a screwdriver. maxevo's got the right idea with the rag, though. you might have to apply a bit more leverage than you think, but the parts are pretty tough, so it should be fine.

if you hear a crack you went too far...
