Default How do you take out front corner lights?

I'm looking for directions on how to take out the entire front corner light fixtures. Thanks.

Default Several ways but the best is...

I purchased the cold air induction intake vents from Mid America.

Following the instructions from the WCC website were difficult - remove screws under the car, pry the plastic out of the way, pull off the wiring harness (can't see), remove screws by feel in the dark....etc. Too hard to do accurately.

Then I tried the instructions from the Corvette manual - same thing but from a different approach - again, too hard.

Now, I found to do it RIGHT you need to pull the front facia (bumber, nose, whatever you call it). This time, the instructions in the manual worked. I raised the car, removed the facia, placed it on the ground (on a blanket) and EASILY worked on the vents, wiring harness, everything! It will take two persons to safely handle the facia.

While the facia was off, the lights were easily seen and could be worked on. If you want, I may be able to fax you the pages from the manual - email me if you want to try...

Good luck...

I just pushed the front brake ducts out of the way and then if your hand is small enough you can reach in and change out the amber bulbs
