REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CORVETTE HOOD LAMP
The first step will be to locate the harness connector and separate the lamp
from the car. This can easily be done by removing the plastic locking pin or
sometimes it's just a matter of unlatching the two parts from each other. The
wire harness is pushed into the hood at several locations along the route to
the lamp. These will need to be forcibly pulled out of the attachment
locations. The last thing to do would be to drill out the two rivets securing the
lamp to the hood. Using the appropriate drill bit carefully drill into the head
of the rivets so that you can remove the head and detach the lamp. You may
have to drill further to remove the rivet completely from the two locations.
Be very careful not to poke the outer skin of the hood itself.
