Tonight I removed the headlights and tail lights from the car.
The headlights are mounted in several pieces. I began by removing the chrome headlight scoop by unscrewing the two philips head mounting screws. The screw towards the grille is slightly larger than the outside screw.
Underneath the scoop there is a plastic lens cover that is held in place by a metal ring. The ring is mounted on two small philips-head screws. After loosening the mounting screws, I gave the ring a small counter-clockwise twist and it came free. Underneath is the headlamp itself. It is attached by a spring and one electrical connection.
The headlamp just unplugged from its electrical connection. Under that was another metal ring. This one was held in place by the three smaller mounting screws seen above.
With the metallic housing piece removed I then took out two larger philips head screws to get the headlight bucket free.
I then removed the front signal light covers. They each have two mounting screws through the chrome ring.
Then I moved on to the rear lights. In the rear there are two lights and a third small reflector above. The lights each have chrome rings with mounting screws. I removed these first.
Underneath each light has two more philips head mounting screws. I removed these and popped the light assemblies out of their housings.
The red plastic pieces twisted off the light bulbs and then I was able to pull the bulb assemblies back through the body of the car into the trunk. This is basically the rear-end wiring harness.
Next I was able to pull off the rubber gaskets that go under the light assemblies. Underneath are chrome cylinders on which the light are mounted, giving them that distinctive torpedo-like appearance. The cylinders are mounted to the body with two nuts each, bolted onto a stud fixed to each cylinder. I used a 10 mm wratcheting wrench to remove those nuts.
With the nuts removed I was able to pull off the chrome cylinders exposing the gaskets beneath.
The small reflector was mounted just as the lights were, only without any electrical. There was a single smaller nut inside that I removed using an 8 mm wratcheting wrench. Then I was able to pop off the small reflectors in one piece. I then pulled off all the gaskets from the body.
