painting back of headlights

[casperss]

Ok quick question. I'm doing some painting under the hood like the nose support and a few other little items. well I want to paint the headlights so how do these baby's come out? I don't want to mess up here and break them. thanks

There is a 10mm bolt on the back of the headlight in the upper center. Remove that bolt and then slide the headlight out. It takes some maneuvering to get the headlight out, but its fairly simple. Be sure to remove both bulbs first.

Well they are out and painted. and they look great IMO. And wow those lights are a bit tough to take out, now I just hope they go back in without me damaging my new paint. Thanks Y2KPewterSS for the help.

Doesnt have to be, but I used it for good measure.

Like Mike said, doesn't have to be, but I used it for good measure as well.
