Default I have a couple questions!

So I want to take off the emblems on the back of the xb, but I dont know if there are any holes that they go into, or if they come off with a heat gun, and if so do they leave any marks, or paint fade behind them.

Second question is the side markers, I want to put either white or blue bulbs inside of them but i dont know how to take them off and if there is a orange reflector in there.

Third question is can you take out the orange reflector in the front headlight, if so how. Thanks!!

Man someone can search better than me Thank god too As I couldn't find the clearing corners how too at all tho I remembered seeing it

2nd By the side markers you mean the lenses in the front fenders?? I assume you do. There is not an amber reflector in it. It is removed best by removing the fastners that hold the rear of the splash shield behind the front tire and reaching behind it. The marker (actually a turn signal indicator) is heald by a tab on one end and a plastic spring snap at the other. Press the spring snap end toward the lamp and it will snap right out. You can likely do this by using a small screw driver or putty knife from the outside as well , but, I don't like things like that anywhere near my paint so I do it the hard way, which isn't really very hard just safer.

great, thanks for the help guys, I was reading about getting the reflector off, and it says that i have to break the reflector, but if you look on top of the headlight there is like a little grey cover that has clips on top of it, Has anybody ever tried it to see if you can get to the inside from there.

Yup the way people clear the headlamps is by breaking the yellow platic out thru the bulb holes:/

Emblems come off very easy with Goo Be Gone (available at any auto parts store, ie: Autozone) Just use the Goo Be Gone and then buff.
