The only thing i had a problem with were the vanity light covers. the driver side vanity light, i tried to prey it out but after getting it damn near out of the hole, its now loose as i didn't know it wasn't suppose to come out.

I didn't get far enough to take it out completely but its a little loose now, being i wedged my flat head screw driver in every angle to get the damn assembly out of the hole, so now its not tight and snug as it once was but it still rests in the whole and not like its hanging or anything close to that.


I discovered that the plastic clear cover, comes off and only once, it never snaps back on! I had to use, krasy glue to keep it it falling off.

The same for the drivers side, vanity light plastic cover, you have to pretty much, "break it off" and it never snaps back into place, i had to use krasy glue on that side, too.

There was a small hole of the left side of both vanity light covers, where i thought i could easily take it off but i was wrong, it never comes off, despite sticking a flat head screw driver, though both the left and right side.

The only option is to pry the cover off and NOT pry the vanity light assembly out, itself.

Then you will need kray glue to make it stay put.

Other than that small annoyance, everything else went smooth

Sorry Morpheous, I didn't realize that you had the '01. I didn't mean to give you false instructions!

Prying the assemblies off with a flathead. I don't know if that's how you're supposed do it on the facelifted models.

NO worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make it known, so others can be ready with glue, when they pry their vanity clear covers off.
