Headlight removal.

The Green GT · Apr 20, 2006

Is there any easy way to ge the headlights out. I mean those little rubber things on the back are SO ****ing hard to get out. I broke like 3 of them taking my old lights out and now I have to takt my new ones out for a minute and I dont feel like breaking my $180 headlights. Any help is appreciated.

Sweet. I found an old thread saying to use a 12 mm open end. But one was all beat up so I used a 11 mm. Then once it it on the clip, I used a hammer handle to hit the wrench and the clips popped out. About 1.5 minutes to get one headlight out vs. an hour earlier when i was trying to be careful and not break anything. Hope this info may help someone else.

I recently removed my old lights. The easiest way for me was using some needle nose pliers.

The little black locks have 2 tabs on them. Make sure they're lined up vertically (one on top, one on bottom). Then press in on the top tab using the pliers. Reach down with your other hand and use you index finger to push up the bottom tab. Then they slide out very easily. Took me all of 10 minutes to remove the headlight. No broken tabs.

I broke my olds ones when I was taking the bumper off. So I got my new ones and Im habing trouble with a broken tab on each one. I can take them out no problem now, but I am letting the tabs sit with some epoxy overnight and hope it holds.

Anyone know where I could get another metal tab for the top outside clip? I lost one.

Yes. Thank you.

As for the lights I got, dont get them., They are poorly made pieces of crap. Well the lighting and everything it good, but the little piece that holds the top adjusting screw in broke on both headlights. I had to epoxy it and I let it sit over night and it broke again while trying to put it in. Once I finally do get them in Im never taking them out again.

I got the left one in and figured out why the tabs were breaking. Im letting the epoxy dry on the right one and Im gonna finish it up.
