Forgive me if this seems a stupid question, but I have a camaro and never done any kind of work on a foreign car. Some1 backed in to my girlfriends 93 mirage 4 door, and busted the headlight and running light on the drivers side. I took a look at it today, and have NO idea were to start. HOW THE H*LL DO YOU TAKE THE LIGHT(lamp) OFF. I couldn't see any screws or such that I can get to that would remove the light. PLEASE, any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!

OK first off, me and my buddy who owns a camaro z28 got into an argument over "foreign" and finally admitted i was right and that foreign is european and imports are asian, so its an IMPORT, just kiddin man. its simple once u do it, pop the hood look at the corner runnin light, it should be held to the headlight by 1 philips head screw, after unscrewin it, pull straight out on it, that will show u the other 2 10mm nuts on the side of the headlight, theres some clips holdin the center grill on, and use a flat head and push on the top and it should pop off 1 by 1, holdin the front of the headlight on are 2 10mm bolts, after unboltin it, unplug the harness to the headlight. that should be it man, if u need anymore help ask later bro

O.K., how's this for a kick in the ... . I go to the "IMPORT" store (wrongly named "Foreign Auto Parts") and get the lights. On the way out I bottom out my car so bad it wrapped the exhaust pipe around my axle. Had 2 drive 10 mph back home, and hack it off with a grinder ;-( .
After that, I followed your advise and, it couldn't have been easier. Perfect instructions. So now my girlfriends car is road worthy and mines not, lol. Anyway, thanks a lot. From now on, I vow never to misuse the terms foreign and import again (and correct others when they do). Well, at least my 3.8 v6 will sound like a v8 for a couple of days. Thanks again evoryda. Oh, and can't forget to thank the wisdom of sierrakl500 either. Peace.
