The front couple bolts (enough to fold the inner fender wells) on the fender wells (plastic part around inside the wheel well). Take them out, I think i did 6. Basically, just do what you have to do to fold the front part of that plastic inner fender well enough to see behind the parking light, then you need to remove the parking light/corner light assy. and once they are out you can reach the final screws required to remove the headlight trim rings. Also there are a few people on EBAY that are selling replacement headlight/parking/corner light assemblys that have clear outer lenses that dont get all yellow and foggy as the stock ones do. I bought smoked ones that have a light tint to it and they have projector caps so you can use HID kits and get a nice beam. something you might want to look into if your going to do the trim rings since its kind of a p.i.t.a.

How to remove head light in 2006 dts cadillac. how many screws is holding it in.

ok, In this New of a vehicle there are no screws holding the headlight in if you just need to replace a headlight because it is burned out. Look at the back of the light where the wires attach and you should see the wires going into what appears to be a coupling. Get a hold of that and turn. After it unlocks you can remove and replace the bulb. If you are replacing the Headlight assembly because it was damaged there are typically 2 long scews on the top front that appear to be adjsutment screws and 2 smaller ones in each side, again on top. Good Luck
