Pop the hood. Remove the plug from the back of the headlight. From the front of the light, You will see three screws above the light. The center screw is for adjustment Don't touch it! Remove the two screws above the light (1 left and 1 right). Pull the light downward. The light should hinge at the bottom and pop out. If the light does not come out then remove the two screws under the light. Remember to pull the light downward grabbing the top of the light. Retain the screws! There are two adjustment screws. One centered above the light and one centered on the side of the light. DO NOT REMOVE THESE SCREWS! It is a pain getting them back in and easy to lose the plastic retaining clips on the back.
