how the **** do you get the headlights off our cars?? i unscrewd the 10mm bolts but i can get the dam thing out!!!! help please i gotta work in an hour!!!

cmon need help asap!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ummm i think you got to push in the inside corner and then wiggle it out but i would check the how to section

 

i did that... no luck... and i searched the how-to and nothing AHHHH im getting soooooo frustrated!!!!

 

there is two push in clips at the corner of the grill by the headlight. take those out and you'll be able to pull out on the grille enough to get the light out. you'll still have to push in a lil on the corner of the headlight closest to the grill thou.

 

Yeah Pull the grill up.. Push that front corner in and Viola It comes out... Better to have an extra pair of hands helping you.

 

ya i guess its not happening today.... **** lol the dam thing would NOT come off!!! guess ill try 2moro when im installing my fogs!

 

LOL, god I know that feeling. It can come out but mine gets hung on the lower part of the light against the bumper. Pain in the ass. What's really fun is when you get it out then can't get it back in without almost breaking it.

Makes you want to throw it like a shot put.

 

lol gettin it back in can be a bitch some times.. you'll almost have it when you realize the lil clips thats on the bottom of the light isnt lining up and wont let the light go in.. at that point its a bitch to get it to come back out so you can get the lil clip to line up..

 

dam.... im starting to regret buying new bulbs lol.....

 

Once you get the hang of it it's real easy to do, you just have to know which way to push and pull. I can remove both my headlights in about 30 seconds, usually without having to pull the pins by the grille.

 

lol the balt has to have the worst design on the headlights ever as far as takin them out goes. once you do it a time or two it gets easy thou.

 

I got a paint chip taking out my stock headlights, pissed me off so bad, funny thing was I didnt even force it very hard, so watch out in that corner closest to the grill.

 

sucks for u. i have no problem doin mine. wut kinda fogs u puttin on?

that was ment in a funny haha joke way. i read it and it kinda sounds like im coming off as a dick. my bad.

 

Headlight design on cobalts suck. I f***** up my paint to. POS design bottom line

 

its a bitch and I always forget the way i figured out by the time i go to do it again lol I think I saw it about, just push the inside part in and wiggle, removing the pins holding the bumper and pushing the flat part below the headlight down helps too.

 

i've got taking my headlights out down to about 2 minutes. hahah

 

so i finnally got them out last night after work at 9pm lol. i didnt knw there were two little clip/guide things on the bottom of the headlight.... i broke one of them off on the pass. headlight.... whatever it still stays in there fine tho.

anyways i got the bulbs changed out, just put in some ebay 8000k halogens xeon (sp?) u get the idea

 

get some pics. i wanna see em

 

me 2, switchin to my stockers soon and am looking for a better bulb

 

yea i tried this too lol. it was a pita. i gave up

 

i dnt have pics yet and wont have them til later 2night perhaps...

i was a little bit dissapointed w the light output but i guess thts what i get for getting them on ebay lol... i do lilke them tho, i prefer the more white/blue light

 

so i finnally got pics... here they are

Low Beam



High Beam (not much different)



im disappointed in the light output but thts what i get for $20 ebay bulbs lol

light will be better once i install my fogs tho! then i wont have to drive around all the time on high beams!! haha

 

i'll agree they are bad but there are worse, the torrent you have to remove the grill to get it out, the buick lucerne (08-09) you have to remove the whole bumper to get the headlight housing out. and there are a few others that are way worse then the cobalt. but at the same time there are alot that are a hell of alot easier then the cobalt as well.

and to the OP just do what everyone else has been saying and you will be fine.

 

very true. i liked my 98 s-10. just pull to clips up and the headlight will fall out.. so much easier when it comes to bulb changes or new headlights.

OP the output of those new bulbs you got doesnt look to bad.

 

ya i've done my share of headlight bulbs that are a pain. and OP what bulbs did you get, those are pretty good output for ebay bulbs.
