Tips on headlights - MRiches - 05-05-2013

Here they are! Nearly ready to go, well just waiting on one side to dry off as I only sealed that today, looking very sexy.

Pictures not too great but you get the idea.

So... On to fitting... as one is ready I thought I'd go have a look thinking it would be a simple in and out... Pretty much instantly snapped a hockey stick clip on the passenger side... Oopsie. The clip had only snapped on one side and went back in as I've decided to leave it till both can go on at once.Then couldnt for the life of me get the black clip off of the grill panel.

Easiest way of going about doing this? Are there shops that I can get replacements if i just snap them all? Tongue

Oh and just for lols, here's where I reversed into a wall.

Not long to be honest, difficulty getting the first light apart as I didn't have a clue but second came apart much easier. Then it was just a case of sanding, priming and painting. They could be better messed up in a few places but can hardly see now they're together. Taken me about a week? I bought the lights separate so i could still drive my car and just case I completely ruined them as I'm pretty useless.

Lights look good mate, IIRC the clips are pretty cheap from pug for the hockey sticks and if you mean the black clips along the top of the grill try using a fork Tongue you need to pop the middle bit up then they pull out

Cheers buddy! A fork! How did i not think of that before. I'll give it another go once I have spares Tongue

Spoon? I see why fork is because you then have the prongs on either side of the clip to give it leverage and pull out. Considering I only bought my first lot of tools last week and didn't have a screwdriver before that... a fork will do haha.
