you shouldnt have to remove them to put strobes in there, just remove the bulps, stick the strobes in and put the bulbs back

what do you mean disassemble? What are you trying to get to?

Besides taking out the bulbs, that's all the more you will get apart without melting the plastic welds and pulling the face of the headlight off.

There is a third screw at the bottom. The easiest way to get at it is to undo the screw in the fenderwell where the bumper meets the fender, then you can pull the corner of the bumper down and can access that third screw at the bottom of the light.

after removing the headlight. remove all the bulbs, and rubbers and anything that melts. Then remove the screws on the sides . Once all removed, pre heat the oven at I think it was 300 degree. Get a towel and lay it on top of the rack together with the headlight. close and wait for 15 mins, the pry the headlight to separate starting from the back.

you dont have to, you can unscrew just enough for you to stick your hand in there to unscrew the last bolt. In my eyes and from experience, it just makes removal and installation of the headlight easier.

Ok, got it off, and put the new headlight in...

do you really need to rescrew that 3rd screw back in? was it supposed to have a nut on the other side because its impossible to put ti back together if it does???

I dont believe there is any screw. Probably a threaded tab inside.
