HELP! SD headlight assembly removal
I have a 2000 F350 and my headlight lenses have shown their age (condensation, yellowing, etc). I bought a replacement set from Ford. How do you remove the headlight assembly? They appear to mount at three points and have clips like I've never seen before. I was able to get one clip from the top, outer most mounting point. But, the top, inner and the bottom mounts are almost impossible to get to. Once I loosened the adjustment screws, I still could not get the plastic "push through" tabs to release.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
John

Just pull!
Hey John both of the tabs just pull up and release the headlight. Yes some are pretty tough. May help to spray some penetrating fluid down on the tab. I thing the tab towards the inside (towards grill) will unlock two tabs one over the other, hope this was some kind of help.

Thanks Bob, it worked like a champ! I was a little afraid to pull too hard, since all the mounting points are plastic, but I was able to remove and replace within an hour. I can see again at night!
Thanks again,
John
