Default Yup... NO DRILLING!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/15621/clear2.jpg"></center><p>
Done by Joe at Wetworks garage in Stanton California. He opened up
the lense and pulled out the yellow reflector. They are not all broken
up into little pieces so if I ever wanted to put them in again, I could.

I did not see Joe open the lense, he took the headlights into the
garage. I didn't even see the tools he used so I don't know how easy
or difuclt the actual removal is. Hope this helps.<ul><li><a href="http://www.wetworksgarage.com">ask for Joe</a></li></ul>

Default Don't ask Joe how - he won't tell you.

I emailed and asked - I live on East Coast an d can't take car to CA - and he said he wasn't going to share "trade secrets". Right. We're not talking proprietary 5 angle valve jobs here.

Anyway, I looked at my headlights, and figured I'd break something trying to learn how - lots of small plastic parts in the area, and it's really tight access.

If anyone figures it out, let me know!

Default My big question is how to get...

the headlight assm out of the car - once I can do that it should be easy to figure out.
