Headlamp Removal Help
Hey guys,
Im in the middle of putting in some new bulbs, and was wondering how to get the assembly out to screw in the new bulbs. I got the rubber cover off, and the harness and all, but the bulbs look to be held in by four small screws, and i cant work a screwdriver in there to unscrew them. How can I remove the entire headlight assembly? There are these two places you can slide a screwdriver into and rotate to push it out further, but how do you take it completely out? I tried a search, and nothing came up. Thanks for the help. Peace.

for my 96, I didn't need to take out the assembly.
After taking out the harness and rubber, there should be this paper clip looking thingy that you just unclip on one side and it will bend outwards and the bulb will be free.
It might be different for a 99

The 99+ headlights are the same as well.
Check your service manual. It has pictures to show you how to remove it.
