Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the headlight retaining clips on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo.

Your headlights are held in by these retaining clips. There's one here, and then there's a clip here that you pull out. You can see the other one's right in here. Generally, if you pull one out and it gets broken or something like that, or if you accidentally lose it, at 1A Auto, we sell a pack.

There are two different styles in the pack. These fit some GM and Ford, actually, and, obviously, this is the correct replacement. You just make sure your headlight is pushed in. There's a bigger square part here that goes around first, and then push down and clip in.

We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.
