How do you remove a headlight assembly from a 97 eclipse?

Answer 1

"I dont know but am looking for an answer myself, so far I know for sure theres a couple of 10 mil bolts on the back of the assembly and from what i gather i think you have to take off the front bumper but i dont know....need more help."

I didn't read the date on this, but it's a top Google result so here it goes:

Yes, you have to remove the bumper. There are about 6 screws (Running along the engine bay near the radiator), 4 bolts (Easy to spot! One in each front corner of the bay and one in each corner under the bumper. You don't have to jack the car and it's extra easy if you have a swivel on your socket.), and 2 clips (You'll see these wanting to un-clip after the two bolts in the bay are removed) holding it on. There are 2-4 more bolts on each lamp's mount that you must remove also. (Obviously you must also remove the bulbs from the lamps as well. I think it's common knowledge, but just in case; never touch the bulbs themselves or the oil from your skin will ruin them!) Should only take an hour at most your first time from start to finish.

Answer 2

You'll have to remove 4 bolts on each headlight, 2 are located on the rear part of the housing close to the fender - one on top of the headlight and the fourth is on the bottom you'll need to push in the socket between the headlight and the front bumper....

The headlight on the 300zx is held in by the black frame . the side screws are located on the side of the headlight and only visible when head light is in up position. Once this is removed you then remove the silver framescrews located at the edges of the top and bottom. Do not remove the side screw which is for direction adjustment. Pull out disconnected the connection (3 pronge) connect to new and reverse order of removal
