I got the corner lights off. How do I get the main headlight assembly out. Please help, I am doing this right now.
 






nvm i just ripped them out. what a pita.
 






easiest way in the future is to squeeze the black arrow thingys with needle nose pliers- the one you'll have to break off a small piece of the surround hiding it so you can squeeze the black arrow thingy, but it is a hell of a lot easier than trying to get those clips out of the header panel... they are a pita though... :)
 






Appreciate it. After about 2 hours of intense sweating I got it done. I got a few out like you said. The others I got out by brute force and by breaking them. I had new ones going in so I wasn't worried about breaking them off. Why don't they ever make stuff easy to replace... I guess that would put mechanics and such out of work.

New lights look great! I've been driving so long with a cracked/smashed corner light for so long now, I can't stop looking at the new ones.
