Headlight bulbs

I bought brighter headlight and fog light bulbs today. I changed the fog lights out with no problem, but the headlight bulbs are a different story. How the hell do u get them out? Do you have to take the front trim off and pull the headlights out or what? I figured i would ask you guys before i started tearing stuff apart? Thanks

One 7 mm on the corner lights, pull them straight out. Two tabs on top of headlight, pull them straight up. The headlight assembly will come right out to access the bulbs.

No 7 mm needed. Only the tabs. It helps to have another set of hands hold up the tabs while you wiggle the assembly out. Be careful not to scratch your trim or bumper.

Use a bit of painters masking tape along the painted edge . Works great to keep from scratching it!! Artie
