Front Running lights.

Post by Psy145 »

Are these glued in? From the looks of it they are but why? I hit a deer last night bent the grill in an inch or so and a little dent above where the running light sits. How hard are these to replace? Should I order new or hit the junkyard?

The corner lights have clips that just pop in/out. I have an oem passenger side headlight (removed from my ‘99v70R after upgrade to jewels) and corner (parts pile), just pay for shipping and they are yours.

No they are not stuck in. It is just a bad design and the plastic guides and latch break off really easily, especially on aftermarket items.

There should be 2 guides on the inner side near the front that correspond with 2 hole on the fender. There is also a clip between the 2 guides.
