Headlight Removal???

1.) Yes, I searched. I found nothing.

2.) Can anyone tell me how to remove the headlights? I looked around and it looks like it only 2 bolts on the top then you pull it straight out, but if it's like my Z then you have to take the bumper off to do it.

Any help is appreciated, pics would be great. Thanks in advance!

you dont have to remove the bumper. you just have to angle it and pull a little and it comes out after you remove the bolts on top. i have done it a couple of times my self alredy

it isn't easy and they definitly don't just slide out. Use a little force and a LOT of care not to scratch the fenders or bumper

That's what it looked like but I didn't want to just yank on it and break off tabs or clips or anything. Thanks a ton fellas!

its real simple i work at a chevrolet dealership the black plastic that surrounds the hood latch there are some push tabs there are about 4 on each side remove those with a flat head screw driver,then take out the two 10mm bolts off .you might want to get a second pair of hands for the next step get the person to hold the inner part of the bumper were the light is pull just a little towards him and u wiggle the light out thats the easiest way to do it thats the way i did mine for my euro lights

yeah i forget his screenname tho

i think it has something to do with nexgen and rl and the 603 area code but not sure what order. he's not on there a lot now because we moved into a new place and his computer isn't set up yet so he has limited access to my girl's mac for emails etc.
