A quick headlight removal question

[Ubershank47]

Hello Club-tC members.

I had a quick question about the headlight assembly.
I just recently bought new projector halo headlights for my 05 tC and current am in the middle of removing the stock ones I followed Alex8181's instructions on removing the lights how ever I'm having trouble getting past the clip that secures the headlight to the frame. The instructions say that I have to pull it towards me, I do but I get the feeling if I pull any harder I may break something. I know other people have switched out their assemblies so I was wondering if you could advise me. Should I just keep giving it some strength or am I just going at it the wrong way?

Thanks.

I had to stick a flat head in a few places to get the light to come out. Which clip are we talking about, the one on the bottom of the light?

Yeah the one that clips the inner part of the light to the chassis. I got the Passenger side light off it slid out easily and I hooked everything up but found out that it doesn't fit because the frame is blocking the housing from fitting in. Guess I gota get a little creative.

Yes, a screwdriver is generally required. Since it will be out of sight, try not to scratch the paint as you dont want rust to form.
