Default Help!! How do you remove the plastic covers.....
I'm trying to replace the hi-beam bulbs. Not wanting to break anything, I thought I'd ask you guys for help on removing the plastic panels that cover the access to the grill and head lights. I tried turning the plastic "screws" but nothing. Can someone who has done this point me in the right direction?

Thanx!

They aren't screws like the engine cover...they have a plastic 'rod' (yeah I said it) insert..

Default I don't think that's quite right Jason; I think you push the pin....
the insert in the "hole" below the cross marks of the two slots all the way down to release, and a little way down to lock. they're not Dzus fasteners at all (in fact they're pretty crummy imo.)
