Removing headlight ?

[adood84]

I have a couple of questions on removing the headlight for facelift vert/coupe :
1.Do you need to remove that molding form under the headlight ?
2. how many screws are there to undo as I only could see2 from the top ,are there any from under?
3. I could remove the molding but that last part that is conected to the fender I couldn't get it and I was afraid I was going to break it?
4. what things need to be disconected from the head light and how ?

You can let the moulding strip hanging but it's more convenient to unclip it. You need to appy a bit of force but pull it out and away from the car. You have 2 more bolts on top of the 2 you see on top. It's at the back of the unit and the other one is deeply reccessed at the engine side of the headlamp. This you will need a long reach torx screwdriver that it thin enough to passs inside the gap between the headlamp and engine frame. I use a 30mm 4mm Allen driven (not ideal as it's not torx but the tip grips) and you need a magnetic tool to pick up the screw before you loose it inside the engine bay. There are 4 connectors to be disconnected from the headlamp from behind. All require just a twist. Do this when you have partially pulled the headlamp out.
