Question
I want to remove all the side marker lights and trim that can come off without too much difficulty. Can you tell me how to remove the side trim easily? Are there clips that can be relieved from the outside or do the door panels have to come off in order to get at the fasteners? How about taillights and headlights? Are they easy to remove? Thanks for any direction you can provide. Are there any publications that deal with this?

Answer
Sometimes a quick call to a local dealership can be a quick answer. I am not quite sure about the trim, they pobably have clips that need to be removed from inside the door. The taillight and headlight are pretty standard and have 10mm bolt on the inside of the trunk and under the hood. The headlight may have a bolt behind the bumper cover that may be tricky.
