1. Open the Hood:
- Release the hood latch inside your vehicle.
- Locate the secondary hood latch at the front center of the hood and unlatch it.
- Lift the hood and secure it with the prop rod.
2. Locate the Headlight Cover (Lens):
- Identify the headlight cover that needs replacement. It's usually a clear or slightly tinted plastic cover located over the headlight assembly.
3. Remove the Grille Trim:
- If necessary, remove the grille trim that covers some Montero Sport headlight assemblies. Consult your owner's manual or refer to online resources for specific instructions on how to do this.
4. Remove the Old Headlight Cover:
- Locate the screws or bolts that secure the headlight cover to the headlight housing.
- Use a suitable screwdriver or wrench to loosen and remove these fasteners.
- Carefully remove the old headlight cover from the vehicle.
5. Clean the Headlight Housing:
- Take the opportunity to clean the headlight housing of any dirt, dust, or debris that has accumulated. This will ensure a better fit for the new cover.
6. Install the New Headlight Cover:
- Position the new headlight cover correctly over the headlight housing.
- Secure it in place using the screws or bolts you removed earlier.
- Tighten the fasteners until they are snug but do not overtighten.
7. Replace the Grille Trim (if applicable):
- If you removed the grille trim in step 3, reinstall it now.
8. Close the Hood:
- Release the prop rod and carefully close the hood of your vehicle.
- Secure the hood latch to keep it closed.
9. Test the Headlight:
- Turn on the headlights to ensure that they are functioning correctly and that the new cover is securely in place.
*If you encounter any difficulties during this process, consult your vehicle's service manual or seek assistance from a professional to ensure proper installation of the headlight cover.*
