If you're doing the headlight conversion for the first time, here are a few things I learned yesterday that I'd like to pass along. Please correct me if I've got any of this wrong.
The 3 white retainers on the side that help hold the weatherstripping in place do not come off. They just raise a small amount and then you remove the weatherstripping by gently stretching it around the round, white head, sort of like unbuttoning a shirt. When you read the instructions, you see the headlight unit with the weatherstripping off and the 3 white things still on the headlight, but I thought this might be helpful to know.
There seem to be two ways that the clips of the corner pieces are attached to the headlight units and my car had one of each. On one type, the corner piece clip attaches directly to ears on the units, like this:
On the other type, the ears on the underside of the headlight unit are ground off, there is a special separate black bracket that goes in their place:
If you have the type with the extra black piece, they are much easier to remove without breaking a clip. I got that side off without a problem, and 2 clips broke on the other side.
I hope everyone is getting their kits, and that these notes are helpful!
