G35 Sedan Headlight Removal Guide (3 Simple Steps)

I put together a little photo tutorial of how to remove the sedan headlights in order to custom paint and/ or install Demon Eyes.

Prep: Lay down a towel or in this case a rubber mat in front of the vehicle to protect the bumper from hitting the ground.

* Find a safe place to store all of the rivets and bolts you will remove from the vehicle.


Step #1: Tools Needed- (1) Medium/ Small Flat Head Screwdriver.

- Open the hood and locate the 7 plastic rivets holding the grille and bumper to the radiator support.


-With your flat head screwdriver pop up the rivet and remove it.


- Now proceed to the driver side and turn your wheel all the way to the right so you can access the fenderwell. Remove the 3 rivets in the fenderwell in the same fashion you did for the grill.



Step# 2: Tools Needed- 10mm Socket Wrench w/ Extension.

- Pull back the fenderwell (using the flat head screwdriver where needed) to expose the (2) 10mm bolts securing the bumper to the fender.


- Using your 10mm socket remove these bolts and put in a safe place.

- Reach into the fenderwell and remove the plug from the corner lights.


- Repeat this process on the passenger side.

- Now the bumper is free and can be pulled forward. **Add painters tape to the fender to protect from marks caused by the bumper**

Step# 3: Tools Needed- 10mm Socket Wrench w/ Extension.

- Now that the bumper is pulled forward the 4 bolts holding the headlight in are exposed.

- With your 10mm socket wrench remove the following bolts:

Bolt #1-


Bolt #2-


Bolt #3-


Bolt #4-


- Now you can pull the headlight out and unclip the headlight harness.


- Put headlight in oven and repeat Step #3 on passenger side.


- Now install your Demon Eye Kit and VOLA!

You put the headlights in the oven in order to open them up to custom paint or install Demon Eyes.

once you bake the headlight is it going to be hot to hold when you take it out or just warm? I have been very interested in the demon eyes but have been wondering about the oven part.

Where did you get your demon eyes kit? Did you change any other bulbs or fogs while you were in there? is replacing the foglights much more elaborate than this?

thanks & hope my Q's aren't too noobish

Also, how does this effect visibility at night?

Thanks again
