this is in a tech article
Removal of Corner Lamp
Using a screwdriver, unlock the clip holding the corner light in place. This can be done using the screwdriver, the plastic, hinged clip can be removed by inserting the screwdriver through the access hole inside the hood lip, located just behind the corner lamp.
After the hinged locking tab is opened, the plastic retaining tab can be depressed using the screwdriver.
While holding this tab down, gently slide the corner lamp forward. The lamp should be fairly easy to remove, if there is a lot of resistance, the locking tab is not fully depressed. The lamp will now be hanging from the connected wires.
If the corner lamp is being replaced, remove the lamp from the connecting wires by gently turning the harness inside the lamp.
Removal of Stock Headlight and Bulbs
(NOTE: Removal of the passenger side headlamp unit can be made easier by removing the air duct from the grill and engine.)
Using the Hex screw driver, remove the three bolts that secure the headlight to the car.
Gently slide the headlight unit forward from the nose of the car until enough rooms exists behind the light so the harness can be removed.
Remove the headlight harness by pressing the metal ring at the base of the harness and then sliding the harness straight back from the light.
Remove the light and place it on a protected surface (i.e. a towel).
Open each of the wire clips that secure the light bulbs within the unit.
Carefully remove each bulb and place it in the corresponding position in the new unit. Take care not to touch the lenses of the bulbs with your fingers.
(City Light Only) Insert the clear 5W bulb into the remaining lamp opening.
Lock the bulbs in the new units with the retaining wire clips.
