Corner headlight trim replacement

[pelsteve1]

I broke down and splurged on the $54 corner headlight trim,

Can someone give me some insight on how to do the replacement?

The corner trims clip in place. The problem that I encountered was that the old ones had become brittle with time. I suggest using some dish soap as a lubricant when taking them off. Look at them for a minute or two and you will see the best way to slide them off without breaking the tabs.

thanks....it went fine...by sliding the trim towards the front of the vehicle, then slow lifting up on the outside edge, the old one removed smoothly....... on to the next task...broken top cable...
