Removing Light guards

Hi All,

I have light guards fitted to my D3 and i would like to change my side lights to LED ones from AF. i understand the headlight has to come off in order to do this but do i need a tool to remove the light guards? how hard are they to get remove and refit?

Thanks,
Jamie Thumbs Up

You'll also need to pop off the grill, which is just clipped in, the headlights are held inplace with 2 sliders on each unit, lever them up and out it pops Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
