So my car was hit right on the headlights during a hit and run, so the cover is broken as well as damage to the body around the headlight. I've taped over it as a temporary measure. When there is damage to the body as well, does that complicate things and make it harder to fix? Should I just bring it in to someone instead of attempting to do this myself? I should note that this would be my first time trying something on the car. Thanks!!
@berryahou35 You may want to have a reputable auto body shop take a look at if for you, to see how extensive the damage is. There may be a few things that they will want to straighten out for you, so that you can properly secure the headlight back into place. Hope this helps you out.
BAH! such a chore. My driver side light just went out... #$%^!!!!!!!! great vid thanks! My bolts snapped off too! would you recommend hitting them with some Wd40? to lub up the bolts? thanks
@Usalogic We'll keep this in mind, if we have another Neon that comes in and needs to have something repaired under the front bumper cover. Have a great day.
should have done the driver side. It is 10x more harder. I tried today and all the bolts snapped, How would you change the bulb if the light doesn;t come out?
@md606569 If you snapped the heads of the bolts the assembly should lift right out. If the bolt studs are still in the holes, you would need to drill them out in order to be able to bolt the light back in place.
Cool

You never showed how to just remove the headlight bulb.
How the hell do you get the bulb out?

@cleve0h You should be able to twist the bulb and just pull it right out of the lens.

how come the video glitched when taking out the headlight?
uncbrans 1 year ago
@uncbrans It glitched because I pulled hard and the light shot right out. So I re-shot it pulling it smoothly and not dropping it :)
