headlight surrounds

[Markh]

Any one know how to remove the headlight surrounds on a Chimaera?

thanks Mark

Fronts wheels off, remove access panel. Feel around for a couple of nuts securing the lower half of the surround. The upper part is probably stuck with a sealant. Prise away carefully.

On My car a 98 Chim the head light nuts are easily reachable through the front grill.
Two per side, the top being attached with sikflex sealant. Take care once you have the two nuts undone as the sikaflex can stick like s**t to a blanket and without careful removal with a sharp
knife the surround may crack.
Hope this helps.
Paul.

Had mine off to change headlight reflectors not the best job if in a hurry with 10 of years corrosion holding on to nuts, give a good dosing of easy oil and be careful as captive bolts are only bonded to surround apply minimum pressure until nuts are free top edge as described silkaflex
good luck
