You coulda asked me this lol!

There are 4 bolts, two on top of the headlamp and two under the bottom (behind where the grill comes off).

Piece of cake, even I did it haha!

ends up like this



btw... you'll find the bolts a lot easier if you use a small socket wrench - 8mm iirc  :wink:

just remember bottom clips need to be lifted up i usually use a flat blade screw driver to realse them and top clips need to be pushed down to realse them

I also find smashing you car into a transit van or a lamp post removes the lights just fine ;)
