Re: head lights

i actually just did this. the easiest aproach, in my opinion, is to take the whole flip up and headlight assembly out of the car. disconect the motor connector and the light bulb connector, then there are four bolts or screws that hold the assembly on. the first two are in plain sight under the hood, but the other two you gotta crawl under the front nose of the car to see. they are ten mm bolts i believe. then once u got it out, swap out for the new light motor and re install. good luck!
