Question Changing out headlights??

Probably a dumb question and I'll probably figure it out later than sooner but I thought I would run it by everyone hoping for some leads. I bought new headlights on ebay and after looking at the ones that are in I can't seem to figure out an easy way to change out the casing and all!! Has anyone done this that can offer any tips?

If your runner is like my truck, I'm pretty sure that the grill is the same someone correct me if i'm wrong. Anyway I did this last week, there are 4 screws holding the casing in. Get a smaller phillips and unscrew them. Do it on a surface where if the screws fall you'll be able to find them because they will fall. I was just luck enough to have extra screws I could take off of my 2wd parts truck.

Anyway you can get to them between the headlight and the chrome surround. The only problem I ran into was putting the screws back in. All I did was put the screw on the screwdriver and tape the screw to it with some scotch tape. The taping method was used after losing another screw . If I had my camera I would take some pictures tomorrow for ya.

In my case, I had to remove the front grille to have access to the top and bottom screws and get the headlight out.
