Headlight and Taillight Removal

[illusive76]

I was wondering if anyone knew the procedure/ level of difficulty to remove the taillights and headlights. All four have to come out because the tint guy said he would give me a nice discount if I brought them already removed. Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the taillights but the headlights are very simple , just unplug the wire harness and there is only there screws holding the headlight in.

i could never get my head lights out. but the tail lights are cake.

just pull back the trunk lining and you will see 3 nuts. remove them and you can pull the light right out.

if you need to remove the reverse lights, they are built in to the entire rear panal. i think there are 11 nuts along with 2 bolts behind the lisence plate and the 2 for the lisence plate light. the panal may be stuck on there because of the weather stripping and some of the studs may also pull out, but just glue them back in with some jb wled or epoxy and you will be good to go

He needs them so he can tint them. If its done by Sunday I ll show it to you at Mason-Dixon, but theres a post with pictures of the tail lights in a thread here somewhere. I think that if you search: Tinted taillights it will pull it up

went to this place in fort lauderdale Speed And Truck World,

its some kinda stuff in a can? 10 bucks i think?

or is he gonna aculy use some kinda forming tint?

I took mine out to mask and spray them.

It's the reverse lights that suck to remove. The entire panel has to come off. I did those on the car.

The rears are extremely easy at 3 minutes each if your hands aren't arthitic.:P

The fronts come loose easy, three screws, the harness, and the top tab.
Push the lens forward once the tab passes under the flange. From the front, ease the lower inside pointy corner of the lens out around the lip of the grill while pushing down on the bumper cover near the center of the lens to clear the molded tabs on the underside of the lens. Once you clear the grille, they pop right out.
