I hate that guide, its for LT1's!!! I followed that thing to fix my headlight gear from grinding and it really sucked, I had to figure most of it out on my own. I hope I never have to do it again, that job was a PITA x1000000.

i know its for the lts1 but its the same concept...but i was lucky my friend use to work for gm so he helped me just find an experience person to work on it and i would suggest buying the brass cnc gears off that site so you arent fixing it later on down the road

there two ways the easy way or the hard way. The easy way remove your front bumper and viola there u go, or the hard way try to reach between the bumper and fender also you would have to remove the headlight door and bezel to get to it your choice bumper is easier all u have 2 do is remove the shields, air deflector and lose the L brackets bumper comes off and the headlights are there if u want a picture i could send you some or follow this link and look at my pictures and u would see what im talking about.

well a friend of mine wants to retrofit some HID lenses and thats why i want to know.. we are not fixing that problem i didn't even know existed..

so, to remove the headlights is easier removing the bumper, does the bumper has the same holding points as the camaro?

What pictures geo?
