Headlights

[TD35]

How do you install new headlights into a 95 eclipse?

take out all the bolts, take out the headlights, put in the new headlights, put back in the bolts

hope you are a contortionist, or have removed your front bumper and reattached it with 1/3 the bolts (like me).

wow

first you need to take off the screws from the back of the headlights and top. Then you may want to remove your bumper to get the bottom mounting for the headlights. The bumper has screws by the foglights, Attached to the fender, and ones connecting the bumper support under the headlights. To get the ones under the headlights off you need to feel where the bumper and headlight meet up, and feel for the two screws on each side. Then with a screw driver you need to pop them out from the underside. (they are plastic screws) After you remove the screws you wil find tha final mounting bracket for the headlights is way easier to access than with the bumper off.

It is a major PITA to remove the headlights without taking off the bumper. The final brackett for the headlight is above and behind the foglight location

I should be and interior/exterior wiseman

of course you also have the "yank" method of removing the lights -- ya dont really need the bottom tab in the first place and they snap off pretty easy (most people leave the scew out of it for easy removal later)
