Hello,
This may be a really dumb question, but I just cant figure it out.

How do I remove the fake headlights on my 1gA? I'm talking about the plastic lenses that hold the turn signal light.

Someone put white bulbs in the turn signals and they just look like crap when I turn my blinker on. I have a nice set of amber bulbs to put in there but I cant figure out how to take the damn things off!!

Does anyone have a link to a "how-to" that would show me how to get these things out?

Or could you post me a couple quick instructions on where the bolts are / how to get them out?

Thanks!!!
 
Looks like there are 3 screws for the front "dummy" headlight 1 in the little grill and 2 in the top above the curve of the light. Then it looks like 2 holding the turn signal lens right where the seam of the dummy headlight and turn signal lens meet.
 
Yeah you can take the whole thing apart in about a minute, need to take that stuff off to get to the bumper cover bolts that are on the top.
Two screws in the center piece, take that out.
Two screws in each side markers, one side is just notched in (the outside).
tada!
 
This is pretty much what I figured, but those two screws between the fake headlight and the turn signal light are a PITA to get to. I have to pry the two assemblies apart to get to them, I figured I must be missing some secret method of getting to these bolts, but I guess I'm not! ROFL
