Title: removing headlights
Post by: GeeTeeI on November 16, 2010, 07:47:42 am

I'm thinking of doing a little headlight modification and wanted to get the headlioghts out to do it (rather than scuff my knuckles).

How easy is it to get them out/where are the locating bolts?

Thanks

There's loads of screws/bolts to undo. A few on the front bumper in the wheel arch, some on the grille, some underneath the car at the front. Once that lot is off, remove the bumper. There's then 4 screws on the lights themselves that you can see once the bumper is out of the way.

Once you get that far, you're left with this:
