How do you remove those headlights?

Post by Manach »

This might have been discuss..

But darn.. I have been trying night and days to remove mine..

I thought.. well, maybe mine are somewhat tricked, as they seems to have new support bracket..

I tried with another Mx, and still no success..

Someone could help me?

Four bolts. Two on top. One on the side (inner) and One on the bottom behind the blinker.

I had the worst time trying to get mine out. The first 3 bolts are easy to get at and are right there in front of you when you pop open your hood. The last one you have to get from underneath the car. When you're looking up from underneath the car, you'll be able to see the bracket that is part of the headlight assembly, follow that and you'll see the one last bolt you need to remove. Good luck.
Second place is the first loser.

It would be easier to get to the fourth one by removing your parking light/turn signal assembly. It will be right in front of you. YOu will just need a long extention to your wrench.
