step by step diagram to remove headlight assembly from car

Technically you're supposed to remove the bumper (reason time shows 2.5 hours) BUT you can remove the assembly by pulling the light assembly toward the radiator. If you check for a picture on eBay, you'll see a ball socket at the lower section of the headlight assembly, fender side. You'll be popping that out of it's socket (verify you have the ball/socket style in your vehicle. You then need to remove the mounting bolt which secures the bumper skin around the headlamp. It will be next to the screw you removed from the lower mounting point of the headlight assembly. I will usually install masking tape on the bumper skin below the headlamp for the next step. Pull the bumper skin up and toward the front of the vehicle and pull the headlamp assembly out. When installing reverse the order but be advised aligning the ball into it's socket takes a little work, I actually use a good sized plastic pry bar and lift the light assembly to align the ball with socket and then push into place. Be sure the mounting tab on the other end of the headlight (by radiator) is under the bumper skin. It's tight but I've done it many times. Worse case scenario, you'll be pulling the bumper for easier removal and installation of the headlamp assembly.
