Headlight Lens on '02 S80

'02 S80

I purchased a replacement lens for the broken passenger side headlamp assembly assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the labor involved would be pretty straightforward.

Can someone describe the proper procedure to remove the headlight assembly so that I might install the new lens?

Numerous varying answers appeared via google, not all of which could be correct.

TIA,

-Allen M.

Allen,
Its not as bad as it looks. You only need to take the bumper off enough to pull out the assembly,

Do
indicator lamp
then bumper
then headlamp
then wiper motor
then lens.

It comes apart pretty easy just a bunch of steps to keep thieves from taking you headlamp.

BTW, is there a source (other than the dealer) for the "rivets" (blind, plastic fasteners) used to affix the bumper cover, under the hood and in the wheel wells?
