How do you remove the headlights in a 2002 model. i have not looked at it yet i just figured some1 already made a walk through.

i think it is the same as mine so just take out the two bolts on the top of the headlight and wiggle it out

you got to take the 2 bolts out the top and 1 bolt beside the turn signal behind the bumper cover and then it is hell to get out the easy way to do it is to take the bumper cover off then changing them takes 10 mins

I can take 00-05 out/back in within 3 minutes a piece... that's taking them out, and putting them back.

then again, after you do it 30+ times, you get the hang of it.

as can i, it's just that they're a pain in the ass whether you can do it quick or not. the way i do i, i'm scared of breaking something every time, but stuff never breaks

Do it about 30 times and you just learn

you take off the bumper to my knowledge, atleast thats how i did it, man it took forever, then again i was taking the body kit so it kinda was plart of the package

i don't recommend doing it this way, but i take the 3 screws out that hold the top to the rad. support, take out the bolts holding the headlight in, unhook the lights, pull out on the bumper cover the slightest bit and they pop right out.

i only do that if i REALLY don't wanna pull the bumper cover which only adds 2-3 min. in my case

You're... kidding... right?

You can't remove the headlights of your own car?

they said take the bumper off but i dont want to deal with the factor of what if i break my body kit then its on me. but if a shop breaks it them they have to pay for it.

what is the kit made of? i think that the biggest deal would be scratching it. if i had a kit, i'd lay cardboard down first

EvoNeon02 · Post by **EvoNeon02** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 1:06 pm

its fiberglass and the whole car is custom painted

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 1:07 pm

i still think it would be a toss up whether to bring it in. the only reason that i MIGHT bring it in would be that it's a custom paint

i don't even see why you'd have to remove the bumper

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 1:20 pm

cause you can't flex the fiberglass

trust me it is harder to break it then you think i just put my rear evo 5 bumper on and had my 265lb bro pushing on it to get it in place and it didnt break just take your time

there is three bolts on each fender and 2 screws by the grill at the top and maybe some screws under the bumper
