Default front lamp harness install

I am looking at the harness and it passes between the radiator support and the inner fender. It doesn't look like the connector will pass through this opening. How do you get the old one out and the new one in withoug pulling the radiator support?

thanks

If I remember, all the vac hoses pass there as well. If you spread things out you can fit the harness through without dismantling. good luck

You could probably loosen the 3 bolts in the front wheel well -
that hold the support on the side. There is enough felxibility
that you could open up the side some more without fully taking
the support out.

It's like dennis said, spred out the vacuum lines (or pull a couple of them out) and the connector will pass through the space. When you first look at it, it looks like the rad support needs to be removed, but it doesn't.
