Answer
LAMP




Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the three screws (3) that secure the inboard and lower mounts of the front lamp unit (1) to the front fender headlamp bracket (4).
Grasp the lamp firmly and pull straight forward to disengage the ball stud (2) on the back of the upper outboard corner of the lamp from the plastic grommet (7) in the fender bracket.
Pull the lamp away from the front fender far enough to access and disconnect the two wire harness connections (6) from the headlamp bulb and the front park/turn signal/side marker bulb socket on the back of the lamp.
Remove the front lamp unit from the fender.
