Part: Headlight

Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported. Locate the hole on the front edge of the inner fender: insert a medium-sized screwdriver, press the tab of the turn signal, and pull it forward to disconnect the connector from the bulb holder. Next, remove the gasket on the top of the headlight and the plastic trim on the bottom. At this point, release the retaining clips of the headlight lens by bending them upward, remove the lens, and then the black plastic reflector.
