Disassembly of the Headlight
1) Remove the 2 screws retaining the plastic inner main housing shroud and slide it forward and out of the housing.
2)
If you plan to paint the inner shroud, remove the 2 screws from the lower fog lamp shield and remove it from the main shroud.
3)
If painting, remove the visor from the fog lamp.
4) Remove the inner main diffuser lens.
Removal of the Reflector
Removing the reflector for prep, sanding and painting is not absolutely necessary, but it makes the job much easier.
The reflector is held in place with 3 ball and socket mounts.
5) Disengage the lower adjustable mount first by twisting the white knob and pulling it back toward the rear of the headlight, exposing the ball and socket joint. The ball is retained in the socket with a small clip on the bottom of the socket. Use a small tool to depress the clip while pulling on the knob to free it (twisting the knob while pulling helps).
6) The upper adjustable mount can be disengaged from the reflector by simply removing its screw.
7) The picture below shows the 3rd upper fixed mounts socket side after removal to better show the retaining clip on it.
