Best Answer

The entire headlamp is only connected by the single bolt that holds down the plastic tab at the top of the headlamp shown when you open the hood. At the bottom of the headlamp, is held in by a thick, metal pin about the diameter of a pencil. Once the bolt is removed, you may pull to remove it. Replacing the headlamp is just as easy, and the pin fits into a hole that has no play, so it will be very easy to know when it is installed.

It is strongly advised that you remove the bumper to access the headlight. You remove:

  • 3 bolts along the top next to the hood latch.
  • Bolts and screws along the bottom and the fender liner.
  • 3 trapezoid pop tabs inside the mouth at the bottom.
  • 2 license plate bolts, unless you've removed the license plate holder.
  • 2 screws holding plastic, rectangular tabs inside the mouth on the "ceiling"
  • The side markers
  • Finally, the very ends of the bumper where the fenders meet are held by plastic pop connections that you pull to remove.
