Headlight removal??

[Luchh224]

Hey everyone! Does anyone have a short guide on removing headlights? I need to replace my passenger side headlight. Got a slight spider crack in it from hooning around with some buddies and it's starting to have serious fogging issues. I figure I would need to take the wheel off and do some things under the wheel well liner, but this is just a guess. Thanks everyone!

The front bumper has to come off to get the headlight out.

Well that blows. I already have an ADD bumper on it but it’s a bitch to deal with solo.

No buddies close by to lend a hand?

I wouldn't think you'd have to remove the ADD, and in fact, having it may make the process easier. Remove the grill and the painted trim piece above the bumper and look for bolts holding the headlight in. Likely have to pull back the front most section of the flare too.

Sadly no. I have lived here for almost 3 years after getting out of the Navy, but refuse to pay VA prices so I live in WV far from my companies HQ, so my work buddies are a decent drive out. Well, at least just enough away that I would feel bad making them drive over an hour to help me with stuff lol.

I know I can remove that trim piece super easily nice done it tons of times to get the bumper alignment just right. Hopefully that’s all I need to do to expose the mounts for the light.

And the grill

The front bumper is easy to remove it’s that stupid wire harness thats a pita to disconnect.

For beer and pizza you’d be surprised what folks will do to help a fellow Vet out
