I want to replace my front headlight as it has cracked slightly but can't figure out how to remove it from the car? Any help is appreciated.

Undo the screws on the top, undo the screws along the front of the bumper.. Undo the wiring from the lamp.. Push the bumper downwards and pull (very hard) the lamp out.

As said you will find resistance as there is a lug on the light rear but a sharp tug should have it free

Try not to snap the lug bracket off!

Try not to cut yourself when you remove the lamp, it's held in there pretty tight by that lug.

squirt it with wd40 or similar first if not you stand a good chance of snapping the bracket

[Topaz]

I tried to tug again tonight but can't figure out where the lug is...

I'd pay somebody to remove them for me. That's the level of desperation I'm at.

bottom outer side of the light

have you disconnected all of the electrical plugs?

[Topaz]

All plugs disconnected.

I'm guessing I'm not pulling hard enough??

[JonnyFive]

Yes.

You really have to pull hard.
