Remove the grill. It is held on by push pins so must be done carefully. The headlight is held in by two slide daggers. One is near the midline on the top portion of the headlight assembly. The other is down the side on the outside edge of the assembly. A stubby flat blade screwdriver works well to pop them out. They will not fall out as they have keepers to hold them when they are out all the way. All the answers are at www.trailvoy.com
