I am going to need to pop out both headlights this friday in order to get good access to the tops of the fenders for paintless dent repair, courtesy of a mechanic leaning on each fender.



What is the fastest/easiest way to remove the headlights?



Thanks!

you should have really good access a lot easier than that - pull on the lever inside the engine bay and push the light forward to the service position



if you still need more access, then just remove the inner fender liner - it's only a few plastic nuts and a couple of screws



the plastic headlight trim rings are fragile, and the whole mechanism is a pain - i'd avoid removing it if you can

Send a PM to Etnier, he did a writeup with pics on 968.net, I just can't find it right now.

This is it, assuming you can read it. There's a monthslong bug here which makes reading attachments difficult unless you employ the überbrowser...

I just had paintless dent removal performed on the pressure dents that frequently occur on the front fenders from mechanics leaning on them. If you follow flash's directions and then remove just the headlight -- be careful of the plastic rings because mine cracked when I barely touched them -- then there will be complete access to remove these annoying pressure dents from the tops of the front fenders. $150 and the fenders look new again. He also took out a couple door dings from the same fenders. Amazing what can be done.

i think those would be john's directions



mine were not to remove the headlight at all - just remove the fender liner - no chance of damaging the headlight pieces, and far better access to the inside of the fender
