Head light Tray removal HELP!


Recommended Posts

The 996 has about 4 different trays. You

should check your tray part number (996 631 173 00).

The bow piece number 16 locks in the light.

Look at you owner's manual and it will show you

how to remove the light.

Good luck.

I am sorry I was not clear on what I was trying to do. I am actually trying to remove the entire part #20 and put a new one.. As the lights were stolen and they broke the actual tray #20

As Paul said, held in by the adjusters. Buy new ones since the old ones tend to corrode. The 2 flat nuts with the shoulders are placed on each side of the tray and the knurled nut is actually the adjuster. It may be easier to remove the wheel liner to do the major adjusting to avoid numerous removals of the light to get it right.

The design is extremely poor as well cause the light harness that clips into the back of the light never lines up with the back of the headlight.. any tricks? I have the clip/harness for the headlight where it was suppose to be on the old trays but for some reason everytime I would take out the headlights and then put them back in.. I would never get lucky and have them line up with the harness.
