Headlight removal HELP!

[Jay Rob]

My TE headlights came in today. I have searched the forums for the DIY removal but can't find it. Does anybody know how to remove the headlights and fog lights on a 2011 T4R? Have a link or anything? Oh, and yes I will be putting my stock lights up for sale once the swap is complete for anybody that's interested.

That's a great write-up by Philsey but you basically have to take the whole front end off to take the headlights out.

Sounds harder then it really is. After you get all the fasteners out,the key is to pull outward at the wheel wells first to release the bumper cover from the inner fender liners.......Then it will come off straight forward.

Cool, thanks guys.

Tks for the compliment Gary.

I'll add: Skilled wrenches like Harper think nothing of ripping major parts off their rides - alone. True, this is not "hard" but it's soooo much easier with a helper.

EDIT: @OP, curious as to your headlight plans?

Once I get the new ones in the old will be for sale, of course.

I was referring to your retrofit.

 

[Jay Rob]

No retrofit plans. Just wanted the TE lights and had my buddies dad get them for me at dealer cost. I just can't get over the mark up on this stuff.

 

[philsey]

Ah... don't blame you, they are better looking.

I am actually planning on doing a modified TE conversion. We'll see how it goes.
