The Headlight Rings Pop-Off

[ThatTmoGuy]

Absolutely, I am om holidays at the moment, but I can scan the booklet and post it here for you all when I come back in a few days. It shows how to remove the bumper and the front fascia, with tools and all. I was actually surprised when I got the spare parts, I was expecting just the chrome rings in a box, not this big box with the black front and the rings and the whole lot. Basically they didn't replace just the red rings but the whole black front.

I will love you forever. and ever. and ever.

For those who would like to remove their front bumper for anything like fogs, headlights, grille. I received these instructions for the grille I ordered. I thought others might find use for these.

Well, i'd like to try this.

Thinking out loud here, but wouldn't another way of doing this be to just tape/mask around the lights, and the lights themselves (just expose the chrome rings)? I mean, if you don't want to risk snapping any of the top clips and having to glue them back on? I know it will be very time consuming, but I think well worth it, knowing nothing is broken. lol

Sure if you like the Maaco approach. In the time spent masking everything off, I could have the car on ramps, removed the front bumper, shroud and rings. Plus the inside rings come very close to the upper grill area and it could be hard to get paint back there.

I think i prefer the maaco approach, to the broken tabs approach. lol and i haven't really taken a good look at the rings yet, in regards to it being close to the upper grill. I was going to plasti-dip first, so if it turns our like crap, i can just peel it off.

and as to removing the bumper, that would be my second option, if masking doesn't work. I'm in no hurry.

I recommend the time consuming tape, because as you can see i plasti dipped my rings and i popped them off. But one day i was driving and i guess the glue wasnt on strong enough and mine fell off and now its gone forever on the inside one.

That sucks. I want your headlights though

 

[David Rudd927]

I've checked my local dealer and they said they only sell the entire headlight assembly. No separate rings.
