changing headlights.

[moosie420]

i made my own clear corners today: http://www.hyundaiperformance.com/fo...ic.php?t=21326
and while i was reinstalling the headlights i guess i nocked it around a little too much. anyways it's burnt now. how do i change it? does it just pull out? or do i have to remove that rubber thing? thanks.

1st of all congrats on the clear corners !
Yea what u gotta do is pull off that rubber protector and then look back there and youll see the metal clip that holds it in place. That clip is held in place by tension in other workds u gotta put pressure on it to release it. I think u gotta press down 1st if remember. Once the light is loose pull it out & replace it with a new one (duh), be sure not to touch the glass part at all or it could burn out or pop sooner due to the oil from your fingers.

how did you open up the cover of the light enabling you to take out the orange reflector.

you need to take out the whole light housing.
then take a hair dryer and a flat head screw driver.
heat up the little clips one by one and bend them back.
heat up a corner of the housing and pry with the srew driver.
slowly continue and pry all the way along the housing untill it comes appart.
undue the 3 screws on the shiny piece, pop it out.
pull out the reflector.
reverse steps.

i found the fricking glue such a pain in the but! my fingers are so sore from prying at the damn thing. it took me about 2 hrs to do it. but it's worth it 4sure!

accent718 thanks. i wish they would make it easyer to change the light burnt when i was having troubble to get it back in. my xeons now were put in by the dealer. i did the fogs alreaddy and they just twist out of the socket. the headlights should do that too, it would be so much easier then dealing with those tension clips.
