Remove the screw from the black tab on top of the headlamp assembly. Around the headlamp plug, there are 3 nuts, remove them carefully, as they are easily dropped and lost, remove the ring that secures the bulb to the assembly, it only turns a portion of a turn. Slide the entire headlight assembly partially out the front, then disconnect the rubber plug that contains the marker/turn signal bulbs. Re assemble in reverse order, making sure the headlight bulb is properly aligned or the ring will not tighten. Also,take care not to touch the headlight bulb glass, as the oil from your fingers may cause the bulb to break when it heats up. Hope this helps.

Look for two (2) round flat black discs about the size of a dime (but thicker) on the inside of the body (between the red lens and the weather striping).
Using a pair of pliers, pull out each of these two discs.
Note they are in tight and may require a fair bit of force to remove.
Make sure the inner part of the disc also comes out. There are two parts to this system, a grommet and a plug:
Push the plug backwards through the grommet.
The grommet fits into the actual hole in the body, and is spread by the plug, the pressure holding them in place.
Carefully remove both grommet and plug.
The lens assembly will fall away from the vehicle when you pull out the second grommet so be careful.
Note the wiring harness that connects to a plug inside. Beside that plug are two holders for the actual bulbs.
Remove the holder by pressing the sides inwards and pulling. The light socket should come out.
