How to replace corner lens on 2003 GM

[bobdec]

Victim of a parking lot hit and run while at the movies the other day. Found a few sites to purchase the new lens at reasonable price. My question is how hard is it to access and remove the passenger side lens. All the bulbs are intact and functioning .. At first glance looks like it will have to be access from under the car, can't even see the lens from up top under the hood. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. After the lens the bumper scratches are next to get repaired..

You might have to remove the front fascia. However, my best recommendation would be to remove the headlight bucket to see if you can get a better view of how it's fastened in there.

I'm betting on having to take off the bumper cover (or reach up behind it).

It's an 03. On my Marauder, It was an 11mm (stupid) nut on the back side(or two) that held the whole assembly on. There may be a Phillips head screw at the lower left part of the assy on the side. I'd love to go take pics right now, but it's in hibernation, 20 miles away.
Hope this helps.

Removing the corner lights

I had to remove both corner lights on my 03 MGM for German technical inspection. We must have white parking lights here.
It is an easy job: Just remove the fascia, then find two 11mm bolts on each side and remove the nuts. Be careful not to drop the nuts, as this will probably be a mess to get them back from the under-engine-cover. Then pull those lights out from the front, they have two little hoks in the rear which hold the light assembly in the fender. Its kinda self-explaineg from here on.

Godd success, it is not a job to be afraid of !

Looks like JoJo hit it on the head. We call the fascia the radiator cover shroud here in the US, removed the radiator cover (three plastic holding pins) and you can see the two bolts with 11MM nuts holding the front of the Corner Lens. Following pic shows both with bottom nut already removed. With nuts removed front of lens pulls out and then a slight foward pull releases the rear of the lens and it's a piece of cake. Thanks, ...

Good deal mang!

I lost that bet

I would've made a bet with you. I had to remove my Marauder side lenses before for the Silverstar parking lights and for the vinyl black stripe thing.

Thanks for the info Jojo!
