on my fox, to put them in(had to put bumper on when i bought car) i just went from underneath the car. its not all that bad, still kinda tight. i could use a 1/4" ratchet for a lil bit, then i had to wrench them the rest of the way off. hope that helps

2nd atempt i got the RH Side off and installed new lights only becuase the bolts was already loose ... the Other side is Too hard ... i really broke a sweat lol i just took a shower from that **** lol !!

May be i should get a smaller wrench? i wish there was a E-Z er way

RE: Headlight Removal ? (HARD) HELP PLEASE
 

It's not hard at all. It also helps if you take out both inner and outer marker lights. Only 3 nuts holding the headlight bucket frame in. Are you sure you're going about it the right way?

I agree with Pro50 I just did all six about 2 weeks ago and it took like 15 minutes. I'm 6'2 and have big hands andI didn't have a problem with it at all lol.

it a picutre so we can see whats goin on... chances are that u are attackign it from a bad angle are highly likely if your haveing major problems with it.... u should have had htem out buy now... i replaced head lights corners and foglights all in 1.5 with never doin it b4 and the lights i put in were ebay lights so i really had to play with them to get them to line up well.. otehrwise i would have been done in about an hour....

I put all new headlights in my 89 in about an hour, and I have pretty large hands. I took out a couple of bolts from underneath the car, was not hard at all. Chances are you are trying to use the wrong tools. I only used one wrench the whole time, just had to get them a little loose and they backed right off with just my fingers.

DOn't be a PUSSY JUST DO IT ITS NOT THAT HARD! If u have 2 ask 2 get headlights out u don't need 2 be working on anything i have a foxbody and i found out it is easier if u get under the front bumper and lay on ur back and reach up there. Just takes a little time

I'M SORRY FOR ACTING LIKE AN ASSHOLE IN MY REPLY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!![&:]

RE: Headlight Removal ? (HARD) HELP PLEASE
 

yeah its really not the hard, you must got some stubburn bolts, did you spray some wd-40 on them, try a ratcheting 11mm wrench
