[Shotimes] Removing headlights

[Sean Simons]

The 2nd Gen cars may use a different type of clip (judging from the
hyper-accurate Chilton book), but my 89 was exactly as you described, with
the little holes that you have to separate on the clips. I still haven't
found a good tool to remove them with. Also, I've broken many of them while
removing them, but I've made my own versions cut out of 1-2 mm scrap
plastic. They don't have the little fingers that prevent them from sliding
out, but so far friction has held them in just fine. They're much easier to
remove with regular pliers.
