    Hey guys,
    I cannot by any means seem to remove the headlights from the grille on my '62 CJ5...I was wondering if any of you knew how a way to remove the headlights and parking lights so they can be replaced?
    Thanks!

    Parking lights should have nuts holding them to the grill on the inside of the grill (inside the engine bay).
    The headlight rings should have a screw on the bottom that secures them. Once this is removed I believe there are three screws holding the light assembly, not 100% sure though, it's been a while since I looked last.

    That screw at the bottom of the headlight 'door' can be tough to get out without buggering. An impact driver is a very useful tool to use.
