What Is a Headlight Mounting Panel?

Often overlooked, but integral to your vehicle’s performance is the headlight mounting panel. This plastic, fiberglass or sheet metal part holds your car or truck’s headlights and grill in place. If your header panel is damaged in a front end crash, it is important to have it replaced in a timely manner, as skimping on this could allow more damage to be done to your headlights, or if the grill falls out of place, that could cause you engine problems down the line.

How Difficult Is Installing a New Header Panel?

Although time consuming, replacing your vehicle’s headlight mounting panel is only a moderately complicated task. First you’ll need to remove you car or truck’s grill, and to unscrew this, you’ll need to open the hood and find where it is attached. After this has been unscrewed and removed, you’ll need to unclip any headlamp covers and unscrew the headlight assembly. Next you will unplug the headlights from their electrical system. Then locate the bolts holding your current header panel in place and remove them with a socket wrench. Once you have taken off your old headlight mounting panel, get a friend to help you line up the new panel and hold it in place so it can be bolted on in the same manner as the original. Then you’ll reattach the headlights and grill, make sure everything is secure and in working order, and you’ll be ready to ride again.
