how do you take off the front headlights I have "fog" in my headlights and need to clean them...how do I take them off....I see the two clips that hold the lens on but when I loosen those it still wont come off, what else is holding it back? I own a 2000 model year Camaro
Do a search for "whistler headlight mod" you're going to find that people get annoyed when you ask questions with out searching first... it's really simple you stick them in an oven at 200º for I think like 10 minutes, then carefully takea butter knife and pry them off... the "fog" doesn't come off easy either.
The entire assembly is held in with 2 nuts and a slip clip. Remove the nuts from the rear of the assembly and slide the assembly toward the fender to clear the slip clip and pull the entire headlight assembly out. From there you can clean the lenses up.
Mine has only 1 bolt in it, the bracket that goes to support it to the radiator panel. One bolt and push in and towards the fender and it pops out no problem. Getting it back in was a little more of a pain but not terrible.

will69camaro is right. One 10mm bolt and slide the light assembly toward the nose.
Funny thing is I just had the lights off when I did the Whistler mod.
They came out nice though.

You don't really have to do step 1, but it does make it easier.
