How to remove headlight?
I've searched all over and I can't find anything. I'm looking to remove my headlights (not just the bulbs). I have them loose (3 nuts on the bottom, inner fender off, front bumper loose) but I can't get them out.
I've searched and looked through 5 pages and figured asking was quicker then my search ended up.

If you've got the fenders and inner fender liners upbolted and the fascia unbolted, you should be able to pull them apart enough to get a towel in there and remove the headlights. I replaced my VY lights with black lights and that's all I did. I used some instructions that I got off the forum. You might check with forum member RLSebring. Good luck. If I find the step-by-step instructions I'll send them to you.

Basics from service manual:
1) Open the hood.
2) Remove the six upper fender flange bolts from the side the headlamp is being serviced from.
3) Raise and support the vehicle.
4) Remove the front wheelhouse liner.
5) Remove the front bumper fascia.
6) Remove the three lower headlamp nuts from the front wheelhouse panel.
7) Disconnect the headlamp electrical connectors from the headlamp.
8) Lower the vehicle.
9) Lift the front corner of the fender and raise the fender approximately two inches, enough to lift upward on the headlamp and release the studs from the wheelhouse panel in order to remove the headlamp from the vehicle.
