pav Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Attempted a DIY de-tango on my blobeye last week, removed the front grill as advised, got all the relevant screws out, then I tried to remove the headlight, got a little movement but I was a bit nervous about giving it a good pull incase I broke anything. Is there a technique to getting them out? Maybe a certain direction to pull them? I read somewhere that it's a good idea to get to the light through the foglight hole, but the car has the PIAA drivers lamps and I don't fancy removing them Cheers Pav
