Hi guys, Yes before you ask, Yes I have read the guide to taking out the headlight.

Ive done what is mentioned there, and when I try remove my headlight, it will only come out 1 inch. then its stuck somehow.

I have a body kit, and I'm not sure if its interfering with it.

Ive been trying to get it out for a good hour, and I'm spitting blood.

Any help would be appreciated.

Probably have done this already but anyway:

unscrewed the light? disconnected the connectors?

make sure you tape the bumper, then try and jiggle the light out.

Yeah, did all that. My body kit was stopping me from taking it out.

After allot of blood shed, cursing and hatred towards the soarer, I managed to remove the snorkel for the AI without removing the light (JZZ31 94).

So now that I've apologised to her for swearing and cursing the day she was bought, I think we are on good terms again. Now lets hope she will be faster =] or at least do something =]

Just taking out the snorkle won't do jack other than allow hot engine bay air into the intake. You'll need to do a proper BFI, an yes on the JZZ31 you will notice a performance improvement (nothing to write home about though)

Yeah I didn't actually only take out the snorkel, I did the full bfi.
