2 bolts up top, 2 bolts where the grille is and remove the indicator (just undo the little clip and push the indicator out (theres instructions in the manual)) and there are 3 gold screws. unscrew them and then just pull the headlight out

You little B****!! Haha

Ok - Gamisou -he has the one piece headlights - and I looked for th eclip on the inidicator like I have on mine and I couldn't find it.

Is there anything different to pulling out the 1 piece headlights as opposed to the two piece headlights??

He has teh 1 piece parabolics!! And is funky blue!!! (Look mad!!)

The earliest I can look at them is either tonight - if you feel like driving all the way back to my place - or on Sunday I can come and have a look at them for you!!

But Haydn - surely you know how to remove the 1 piece parabolics - or else I am gonna have to just go in blind and try and figure it out!! Haha

And we all saw how that turned out wth the RSM!!

Ok so my car is still a little dirty from the north west!! And you wanted to change the white interior light to the green one first - no wonder it was soo dark - but we had the torch and we only smashed 1 globe (well i did)

But anyways - where are all the ppl with the 1 piece Parabolics?? How do we get them out??

Didnt read it all ... saw my name...
hear I am :D
lie on your back and up under the guard in the very front is another 10mm bolt going from the ground up..
it is directly behind the indiactor..
the 2 piece lights .. infact EVERY light kit on the TE+ and KE+ have this extra bolt.
I can put up a pic if you need one..

Just be carefull as there are a total of 3 bolts under the sides...
2 are right next to the edge and are for the guards and bumpers to join together.. the 3rd is about 2cm into the car and near the front of the other two bolts.
I run my car onto bits of timber I carry in the boot to get the car up enough to fit the trolly jack under it. :D

and the best part is the timber I used (some off cuts at school) are supper light... only about 2 kg for both.

When I changed the springs in teh front of my car to superlows - i jacked up my car and changed the springs then let the jack down and it dropped so far i coulnd't pull the trolley jack out so i had to ajack the side up with teh scissor jack to get the trolley jack out!! haha

Cheers mate - I am sure we will be able to find it!! If not the skirts will fall off - hmmm - dropping skirts is even better then looking under them!! haha
