I know a few of you have installed new headlights on your 96-98 GT's, but I was wondering how you did it. I'm currently trying to change out my whole headlight assembly and it seems like it's impossible to get to all the bolts, and seems like when I get to those bolts it doens't loosen up much. Any help appreciated.

 

im not sure about your year but i have a 99 and on each headlight assembly there are two bars you have to pull out of the top of the assembly. sorry if i wasnt any help.

 

its only a few bolts, sometimes you have to slide it around to get it out. take the corner lights off also because there migthe be a bolt behind there. You shouldnt have that hard of a time, ive done it plenty of times because i keep bumping into ****

 

It looks like there's a few bolts coming out of the back of the headlight assembly and there's little black things keeping the bolts in place. They're just really odd shapes and sizes. It's like a hex head but it's really really tiny, and I'm not sure which way to turn it to get it off.

(turn left and you loosen)

 

It turns out they were way easier than I thought to install, a couple bolts and they come right off, I was just looking into it way too hard, and the new headlights are 1000 times better than the stockers.

 

needle nose plyers helped me

 

An 11mm box-end wrench makes it really easy...

 

Yea, i installed my headlights yesturday, now my headlihts act like headlights, rather then big fog lights.
