Headlight Assembly Removal C4
The headlight motor on the passenger side is in failure mode – the motor continues to run at shut off and makes a noise.
The motor on the driver side was replaced a year or so ago.
Has anyone done a headlight assembly removal on a C4?
What are the basic steps?
I read the sticky, which is helpful but as far as I can tell it applies to earlier models.
The steps are probably very similar to the C4 though.
Also, there is supposed to be a manual override for opening the headlights.
Where is it and how does it work?

Very nice...very helpful article (I just started skimming it but will read the whole thing soon).
Now I can tell how much technical skill is required.
I have a 2000.
If you come across anything on the manual override, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for the info.
