Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
To pop the hood, we're going to grab this little handle right here, right next to your foot rest. To release the hood, we're going to slide this little lock to the right. Prop rod is right here. Pull up on that, and there's two spots. You can either put it right there, or if you can't reach that spot, you can put it right here.
We're going to take these nine pushpins out on this upper cover. Use a flat-blade screwdriver. Just pry up on the center, and then the rest of the clip will pop out. Sometimes they come out easy. Sometimes it's a struggle, like this one. The center came out, which is okay.
Now we're going to move this air intake. Then we can pull up on this panel.
Now we can put this cover back on. Line that up. We're going to line this air intake up. Pushpins, stick those in. Push them down. Lock them down.
Okay, now we're going to close the hood.

Why you Should Replace Not Restore Headlights
See why replacing your cloudy headlights with new ones is always better than refinishing them Why should you replace your headlights and not clean or refinish them? Three reasons: It's a simple fix, it increases visibility, and it enhances the overall look of your vehicle. Headlights are made from a polycarbonate plastic that can be damaged by UV rays from the sun or suffer pitting caused by road debris light salt and rocks. If you look closely at an old set of headlights, you'll see that the lens is full of micro-cracks. This is called crazing. This crazing, along with pinning, will turn your headlights from crystal clear to hazy yellow and it cuts the output in half, making it very difficult to see at night. It also makes your car look old and dated. With parts from 1AAuto.com and our how-to videos, you can make your vehicle look new and stay safe on the road.
