Corner lens help!

[GungHoPopsicle]

I know this question has probably been asked several, several times, but I need to know: Can the corner lenses on a 2000 Camaro be taken out just by removing the headlights from above or do you have to get under the car to get to them?

I took mine out from the top with the headlight removed

I've done it both ways but from below is easier.

I have always taken mine out the top with the headlights out.

^yep, the headlight is 1 bolt. very easy.

take out the bolt, slide the light to the side and take it out.

then the marker has 3, 7mm screws.

Thanks guys. I changed the turn signal bulbs out today and it wasn't too terrible at all. Here's a (very simple) walkthrough in case any of the moderators are interested in posting:




Getting access to corner lenses on '98-'02 Camaros

I'm going to go through this as if only having to mess with one side of the car to word this easier (doesn't matter which side since both driver and passenger side are identical).

Before we get started, you'll immediately notice that there are two phillips-head screws on the headlight housing that are facing downward. No need to mess with these! At least not yet, anyway. These are for adjusting the beams on your headlights.

-First, have a 10mm socket and socket wrench ready. You should see a metal brace holding the housing in place. Remove the bolt/washer that are connected to and directly behind the center "bubble" of the housing (there are three "bubbles" per housing; two for the low beams and one for the high).
-Next, simply loosen the bolt on the other end of the brace so that it can be rotated out of the way in order to both pull the headlight out as well as to gain easy access to the corner lens and fog light (should you need to reach that, too).
-At this point, you can easily replace the parking light or turn signal bulbs within the corner lens. However, if you're actually wanting to remove the corner lens itself, you'll want to equip yourself with a 7mm socket to remove the two bolts that attach it.
-Once the bolts have been removed, you'll end up having to wiggle the lens around a bit to free it from its little nook. Nothing too difficult.
-Putting everything back is as simple as following the steps in reverse, unless you have after-market headlight housings that are a b**** to fit right in the first place.
-Finally, grab a phillips-head screwdriver for those two screws I mentioned in the beginning to adjust your beams (if you need to).

Hope this helped!
