'99 headlight assembly removal

Jul 30, 2008 2 Replies

Where are the attachment points for '99 Miata headlight assemblies? I see two bolts on top, but there is at least one I can't see that's holding it in.


Below, you were asking about replacing a bulb. Now you're removing the whole assembly?

D-oh. Couldn't get that spring clip back in place, and the mechanic I use suggested removing the assembly to work on it outside the car. I managed to find a '99 shop manual on the Web--nothing too fancy--that gave 'remove the two bolts on top of the headlamp' as step one, and 'remove bumper' as step two! There's a joke about blondes and lightbulbs in there someplace.... With the help of a screwdriver and a hemostat, I was able to get the danged clip back in place.
