Yeh, but who won?? All you need is an eye patch and dental work. Poor deer.
If you have the time and inclination, a trip or two or 3 to a salvage yard could get you all the parts to renew it, and save you a lot of money that a body shop would charge.

SOURCE: cannot remove tail light assembly

I had the HARDEST time with the lights...I never realized changing a bulb would be so difficult. Once you unscrew what you need to, go into the trunk and pull the lining away from the back part of the light. There are the white prongs that you will need to tap with a hammer until they pop out and then the light assembly will come out. Be careful though, I got a little too impatient and broke mine. I used a binding agent to hold it back in place though...GOOD LUCK!

SOURCE: What is the best way

There's an access in the bottom of the air deflector under the bumper. 2 screws in the bottom of the light and one in the back. Unplug the sockets and pull the lens out of the bumper.

SOURCE: How to change headlights

Hey there,

You need to remove the two plastic pins in order to pull back the upper front grille. Best bet is to get a flathead screwdirver under those pin heads to pop them up, then rotate the pins around to pull them out. You should be able at this point to pull up the grille, and that should give you the clearance to wiggle out the headlamp. It's tricky, but worth it!

SOURCE: I have a 2000 Camaro. My problem is front turn

You can replace the parking light/turn signal bulb with LED lights. The LED draw next to nothing in AMPS and produce no heat at all and last for ever. You can pick up the replacement LED lights for your Camaro at most Auto Parts store like Auto Zone or Pep Boys. Good luck and keep me posted for any more questions you may have, I'm running the LED lights on my wife's Montana for that same reason.

Testimonial: "Thanks for that speedy, and helpful tip. Will probably do that if I can't find the problem. "

SOURCE: How do I remove the plastic from the headlight assembly??

These headlamp housings are sealed and not meant to come apart. There is a headlamp polishing kit that is sold in most auto parts stores that is used with a low speed drill to polish the fog and glaze out of the plastic lens using 3 or 4 steps of fine gritted paper with a polishing compound to finish the job. If the housing has water in it or is very dirty inside there isn't a whole lot you can do to get that out of there short of replacing it. Hope this helps a bit!

Replace low beam drivers side headlight on 1993 olds cutlass supreme convertible

Remove turn signal assembly (uses a torx 15 driver). This will expose the two 10mm bolts on the one side of the headlight assembly. Remove the plastic front grill (uses a torx 15 driver - there are about 6 screws). This will expose the other two 10mm bolts on the headlight assembly. Remove the four 10mm bolts to remove the headlight assembly and this will allow you access to the headlight you need to replace.

How to replace the headlight in 2002 chev trail blazer

There are 2 ways, 1 includes removing the grill....These grills are easy to break if not taken out very carefully.

Drivers side- I stick my hand down by the alternator and over behind the headlight. Remove the rubber cover and twist the light out.

Passengers side- I take the top of the air cleaner off, then you have complete access to the rubber covers and bulbs.

5 minute job to do both sides.

How do you put a low beam light on drivers side headlights

Open up the hood and look inside at the headlight area, on the back side of the radiator support. You will find 2 slotted brackets with a lip on the top, which lock the complete headlamp assembly into place.

Pull up on the lips and remove the brackets. headlamp assembly then pulls out from front fascia and allows access to the bulbs.

Replace headlight bulbs on a 2000 chevy blazer LT.

Yes, you can. Just take off the front grill, and the
headlights assembly. Don't tinker with the head-
light assembly adjusting nut, as this would change your headlight level. Take headlight bulb
off and change it. Replace the headlight, then, the
grill, and it's done.
