Default How to remove TA headlight covers?

I want to remove the metal headlight or eyelid covers from my hawk as well as the front bumper cover to repaint it from a few stone chips.

Can someone give me a step by step and location of each clip/bolt to remove them?

Thx.
Ryan

You just want to take the painted metal piece off, not the entire headlight assembly? There are 4 screws you take out and it comes off.

Yeah...there is nothing to it. Also the four screws that hold the cover on can be used to adjust it to make it fit your hood and fenders as well as the gap between it and the front bumper. Spending a couple hours playing with them can really help clean up the front of your car.
