    Default How to remove headlight assemblies?

    Does anyone know the steps for removing the front headlight assemblies? A quick scan suggests to me all it might require is loosening the plastic clips along the top of each assembly then jockeying them out. On other hand, I'm thinking it can't be that simple.

    Still waiting for availability of Helm manual. What I thought was a December 1 release date has now passed, and nada.

    Just curious... Are you going to add Audi-style LED's to the headlamps?

    I'm thinking the same thing but for the lower light assembly. Parking/turns. There seems to be a perfect area right at the bottom like it was made for it.

    FYI
    The service procedure calls for the front bumper cover/fascia to be removed, as well as the underhood sight shield. Do to the fact this would be exposing numerous high voltage components, the procedure calls for the complete disabling of the high voltage system prior to their removal.

    A lot more complicated than I had hoped. Thanks!
