gerlewislewis 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Im going to change my trim over, but Ive heard you have to undo some screws which the headlights cover. How do I get 'em out? Also to get the front bumper off Ive heard you gotta get the arch trim off. Is the best way to get the arch trim off to remove the wheel then tap the trim out from the back?

Also to get the front bumper off Ive heard you gotta get the arch trim off. Is the best way to get the arch trim off to remove the wheel then tap the trim out from the back? Ger it can make things easier to remove the headlights yes. if you look down on the headlight mounts you'll see a piece of wire clip with a loop on the end. i find it easiest to hook it with a screw driver and lift it up and back then pull the head light up and forward and it should pop out. do the inboard clip first and then outboard. to refit just push them into place and the clips should click back into place (cos they're springs) the arch trim is clipped to the front bumper so you have to remove at least a couple of clips to get it off. they are the silly press on split washer type jobbies, i use a screwdriver and a pair of pliers to remove them.

steve@cornwall 100 Posted May 1, 2008 Before removing headlights, get a small tube of clear silicone (to re-attach the indicator lens when the headlight pops it off!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Project205 0 Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) Is there clear silicone between the headlight and indicators as standard or was this a recomendation? I have just fitted new headlights and indicators. Thanks Edited May 27, 2008 by Project205 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted May 27, 2008 Actually in the gap between the headlight unit and indicator unit? No, there shouldn't be (and if I'm wrong, then WTF were Pug doing? ). I can't see any possible benefit or reason for having silicone between them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve@cornwall 100 Posted May 28, 2008 Before removing headlights, get a small tube of clear silicone (to re-attach the indicator lens when the headlight pops it off!) Just to glue the indicator lens back on !!!! Thin bead around the indicator lens where the glue was originally.
