Need Help: Headlight removal ( the whole swivel and bucket )
I am trying to remove the entire assembly and wanted to know the procedure
I already removed the intercooler side. I thought I could just slip it out !
I guess not ?
So I have to remove both sides?
And the what ?
Which way do I pull it out
I still cant get over that bad news about Dan ( Iceshark )
I have a pit in my stomach
Thanks in advance
regards
Ed

From my experience the headlight system is one unit. You need to remove the triangular bracket and bolts from inside the fenders then to the sides of the intercooler. Then you must remove the two 10mm botls on each side holding the black brackets to the frame rails. Then you have the hood release cable to remove and then they should come out. Need a lil wiggling but they should come out. Have a nice time trying to realign them!

Thanks Derek
Actually, I removed them already. You are correct I had to pull both ends off to get it out
I also outlined the triangular pieces with pencil, so I know where they go back

i got mine out by taking a pry bar and wedging it between the metal wall next to the intercooler and some other part of the headlight - i forget which. that's how i compressed it enough to get it out.
