Default How to remove headlight bezels?

Can someone please explain to me how to remove the headlight bezels on my 95? I removed the top two screws and I've read about other hidden bolts... but I can't figure how to get to them. Thanks

Take your battery off and use a rachet with an extension to get into the header panel, and loosen. It will come out with the blinker light (2 bulbs in housing), and the small marker housing. So make sure to disconnect those

Yeah^

Its a 11mm or 7/16

Taking out the battery it the easiest way to do it for the pass side, but on driver side its easiest to squeeze a hand between the wiper reservoir and the back side of the lights.

Easiest way is to use the socket to break the nut loose, but then use your fingers to take it off so theres a less chance of losing em! Speaking from personal experience!

Thank you everyone, I was able to get them off. I'm in the process of putting new tinted lenses

I'm not going to install the actual headlight lense until I get my HID's all hooked up But here's my progress. Gotta love having a 2000 square foot garage to work in!
