I have a 2001 Cav Z24. I am next to useless with cars but i am trying to replace my headlights. Can someone please let me know how to remove the Healight Assy?
Thanks

First, remove the readiator cover by pulling out 8 (i think) plastic screw things (Yellow outline).

The remove the two bolts (red) and pull the headlight assemblies out. There may be more than 2 bolts on either side, i think its just 2 though.

remove the radiator cover like Kustmace said... and only 2 bolts hold them into their place on either side..

I was right!

Its been too long since I pulled my headlights out...

Thanks, that was really, actually surprisingly quick.
However everything that was mention i knew already. I removed the two bolts on each side, and there was still something holding it in there... something on the turn signal. any ideas?

It has a little clip on the back, make sure you pull up and out to unclip it.

AHH! i am sorry, a clip on the back of what?... I couldnt see anything. I was trying today for like 20 mins to find something. Again i am still needing much education with cars so please have patience, Thanks for all your help so far.

There is a little clip on the back of the headlight assembly.

know_i_dont · #10 11-15-2004, 05:59 AM

alright i will try to find that... thanks.
however if u u or anyone else could give me a little more detail on this clip or maybe a pic that would be cool.

know_i_dont · #11 11-15-2004, 06:42 AM

the other thing is that car in the pictre isnt the same as mine, I have the 2.4 L. I also think the headlights are different. (looks like you have 2 bulbs in that one, i only have one) Do you think there is a diffence in how it is restrained? again i think there is something that is attached on the turn signal.

dang dude... i'm almost to the point of calling you blonde... since they are a one piece unit unlike the older 99-95... once the 2 bolts on top are removed.. remove the other nuts holding into place there.. this isn't rocket science here... remove whats in the way...

know_i_dont · #13 11-15-2004, 03:52 PM

Yeha thanks for that, i think i would have done that if i saw anything else i could remove... It looks like i am going to have to rip apart half my car just to get to it... so that cant be right.
The part that is still holding on is not visble. I dont know how to get to it

well on the directional there is a clip you can stick a screw driver down and pry to the side left or right which ever side your on and maybe it will be easier to look at it that way of give me 5 min i will run out and see how to do it.

jayson716 · #15 11-15-2004, 04:08 PM

ok i just got in from removing it. do as kustom said then when u have the two bolts out remove the blinker by using a flad head and up in the corner of the assembly prey it off if you look. you can see a little clip. that will pop the blinker right out the the headlight assembly will come right off.
