I've searched it before but the only thing that came up was it's not easy, but didn't explain how it's done.

If your talking about removing the headlight bowl there's a member in this great write-up that did it and explained how he removed it. You'll have to read through the whole thread to find it though.

I think most people, I included, left it attached. Made it easier for me to work with and during the alignment. Good luck.

I took mine out. It was not easy, and I thought it may break. Pretty much I just pulled on it really hard until the ***** popped out of their sockets.

I'm currently in the process of doing a retrofit with the fx-r kit. I left my reflector bowls in while trimming it out. Haven't had any problems with leaving it in there.

I think I may just leave them in there unless the second headlight will work with me. The first one was a PITA.
