Last year, I bought a set of sport light headlights to upgrade the stock setup on my truck. I began the conversion one day, but had a REAL hard time removing that dern metal push-on clip that's WAY up between the panels, and that holds the light assembly in place even after the mounting bolts are removed.
After a few false tries to get at it with various tools and schemes, I finally managed to get it off - but then ran into interference problems between the headlight assembly and front bumper. I was out of time by then, and wasn't ABOUT to remove the bumper to get the old assembly out - so just put it all back together again.
I'm about ready to start over - and DID discover that the whole bumper can just be loosened and swung down slightly to gain removal clearance for the headlight assembly - but I'm still faced with that elusive push-on clip that's hidden from view and tucked way up between body panels - so how have you other guys who have done this mod removed that clip?
I finally got the first of mine off by forcing an ice pick in under that clip and prying it off - still hard to do, and pretty hard on the post it attaches to and the panel that gets all dinged up in the process - not to mention the cuts and scrapes to my hands!
There's GOTTA be an easier way, or tool to use - what IS it?
Linear Mode
