I took each off and have very little movement. certainly not enough to replace the bulb. I don't want to snap anything. im sure its simple.

Probably a couple of retainer pins holding it in. here is the rest of the procedure: 2. Grasp upper inboard and lower outboard corners of headlamp and pull headlamp outward. 3. Remove all of the bulb sockets from headlamp module. 4. Separate the headlamp from vehicle. INSTALLATION CAUTION: Do not touch the bulb glass with fingers or other oily surfaces. Reduced bulb life will result. 1. Install all of the bulb sockets in headlamp module. 2. Position the headlamp on the vehicle and align the ball studs with the sockets. 3. Push the headlamp inward to secure the ball studs with the sockets. 4. Install the jack screw attaching the top of headlamp to the headlamp mounting module. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Note: It has a ball in a socket type holder on the outside edge. Pry it out with something plastic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
