Take out the headlights and it all becomes very apparent. One 10mm bolt and the headlights slide out.

yah took out the head lights and took the bolts out of the bumper lights but still have no room to get the lights out because of the clearance between the bumper mount L bracket on the fender any other info will be greatly apre.

on my camaro I took out the headlight, took out the 5 snap pins across nose of car under hood. Then slide the nose off the lip, and take out screw in the turn signal housing. Then u will have to pull plastic area that's under the light on the nose of car up and slide the lense outta the area it rests in. It's kinda tricky and be careful not to scratch or web the paint. Good Luck

It's super easy...
Take out the single 10mm bolt on the back of each headlight housing.
Unplug bulbs.
Slide housing towards nose of car.
Pull headlight housing from car.
The corner lamps are then right there in your face while you are on your feet. There were no other obsticles for me when I put the clears in.
I started doing it from the bottom, but that was terrible. I have hands the size of hams, so it wasn't going to happen from the bottom.
With the lights out you have gobs of room and no crap falling in your eyeballs.
Good luck
Dave

<strong>If you're just looking on how to remove the headlight assembly this post might help https://ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...=002164#000003 , I find it much easier to pull out the fascia when removing the headlights. I hope this helps some but if not I'm sure someone will come along with the right answer, good luck.

Here it is in full:
---------------------------------------
Here's how I've done them in the past.

1. Remove the five black push-in pins from the top of the fasica. This will allow you to pull the fascia out while sliding the headlight assembly towards the center of the car. By pulling out the fascia it will give you that needed extra room to pull the headlight out, I remove the headlight at a slight angle.

2. Remove the 10mm bolt from the back of the headlight, no other bolt should be removed to take the headlight assembly out.

3. I like to use masking or duct tape EXCELLENT ADVICE!!! on the fascia around the headlight area, this will help protect the paint on the fasia. Looking at the back of the headlight you'll notice two tabs, when re-installing the headlight make sure you slide the two tabs in the proper area. The blue tape shows the tabs.

One thing I forgot to mention is you need to disconnect or remove the headlight bulbs before you pull the headlight assembly out, if you remove the bulbs do not touch the bulb with your fingers.

Thanks again AL!!!!!
