I have bought some White LED's for the sidelight in my 1988 4th gen hatch

I have managed to get out the left side light (breaking the bottom clip)

but cannot get out the right hand side light, is there way to get them out

I have unscrewed both screws on the side but cannot seem to get the clips that hold em onto the headlight,

any help appreciated

are you referring to your corner lamps? if so your gonna have to break them. ive put new ones in 5 4g hb's and every single one weve had to break the old to get the new in.

try jiggling them up and down and pull them straight back, ive replaced mine so many times and never broke nothing.

what I would try If you can't get them out is to take the screws out of the side and open up the hood and try to pry them from that way.:D
