I recently broke my headlight via a rock shooting out of the bed of a truck. Anyway, I ordered a replacement but can't get the frickin old one out of the car. This is literally the first thing i've had to do with this car, so please save me! I tried to get the front grill off, but the kidney holds it in place with some rivets. This has got to be way easier than i'm making it, i'm used to newer bimmers :(. Thanks!

... plastic nut in the engine compartment at the outside edge. If the side grills are riveted to the center kidney grill, the PO has messed it up.
To release the center grill, which you don't need to do to replace a headlight, remove one side grill, then reach behind the center grill and remove two nuts and U-clamps. _________________ Curt Ingraham

If that doesn't work, ping Biscuit. I hear she has a foolproof method for removing headlights. _________________ 67 Caribe 1600
