removal of front corner lenses, 202

[Will_w202]

I purchased some european amber turn signal lenses and can't figure out how to remove the exsisting ones. I don't have a bentley manual, but I'm guessing I will hav eto remove the headlights or front clip - hopefully not. Anybody know?

10 seconds per side, to do this job.
Open the hood, look inside the fender (beside the headlight ), squeeze the clip that holds the turnsignal light & it will come right out.

I'll be doing this tonight. I figured it had to be really complex or really simple, since I couldn't find any screws or visible clips.

Ok, should have been easy. I located the clip on the lights, but I was giving it all I had to push it out. I stopped out of fear of breaking something. What's the trick to this?

Howdy Will,

You can do it. If you're having to push hard, something's not right.

First step is to make sure the clip is unclipped. Maybe pull the clip towards the engine, or push it the other way. Either way, once the clip's free, the lens should pop out with minimal effort.

Best,
