I have a 91 gt vert could someone tell me the best way to remove the headlights so I can install new ones and do the little prong screws do they need a special tool because some of mine look like they would need a small wrench and others are just rounded out THANKS

There is just a regular 10mm nut on the headlight bolts that you remove.. Look past the star bit on the bolt.

It'll take about 1 hour to remove all the parts and reinstall if it's your first time, so be patient.

It helps to have skinny hands too.

10mm racheting wrench, it also helps if it has a very long shank. The times that I've done it, I've done it with a tiny wrench, and it makes it very hard.
