Headlight and turn signal removal

If anyone can help, I'm trying to remove the headlight from my SVX. It looks like I need to remove the turn signal light first, but, so far, I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance.

The turn signals are easy, there is one screw on the top visible with the hood open, after you undo that, they come right. Then you will see the bolts on the side for the headlights. There are bolts on the other side behind the grille as well. In the how-to section I believe there are instructions for removing the grille - follow them closely since the tabs that hold the grille on can be a pain to deal with.

Re: Headlight and turn signal removal

Wow, you're amazing. Thanks for the fast responses. And great pics. I did have the grille off and removed the bolts and the top screw, but was looking for something else holding the turn light in. The fender is crushed a little just above the turn light so hopefully it will still slide out. I'll try after work in the next couple of days. Thanks again.

Re: Headlight and turn signal removal

Are those pictures with labels from a manual that you have, or did you make them yourself?

Thanks everyone,
After I straightened out the fender tip, the turn signal lamp assy slid right out

I made them myelf. I have posted hundreds over the years to clarify things such as this.

The first photo looks a little odd because I have the clear polycarb headlight shields installed ovr the headlights.

Re: Headlight and turn signal removal

Oops, no I didn't. I don't remember what I used to search the forum but it didn't come up. I'm still learning about the forum so I'll check there next time. Thanks
