Unhappy HeadLight

Hello, it's a pain but fairly easy to, look real hard on each side with the hood open ( use a flashlight ) you will see with hood open behind your headlight a silver metal arm back 6 to 10 inches down about 8 to 10 inches this has to be pushed down to unlock the back of the headlight ( I use a wooded paint stick ) now after pushing the arm down try and turn the paint stick to lodge it against what ever is around the stick. Now more toward the front of the head light there is a small silver socket head rod sticking out and it's I think 5mm or 5.5mm there will be a small white picture of a padlock one locked and one unlocked turn the socket head rod to unlock ( be careful to not go past the 1/4 turn it says or you will break a small plastic piece that holds the rod in the headlight bucket ) now if you have both the metal silver arm pushed down, and the 5mm socket head rod turned and unlocked then with your fingers pull on the rubber around the headlight where it goes in the fender, it can be a pain in the butt to get it started, I have used a butter knife to start it but be careful to not scratch or chip your paint. Start with the pass. headlight it is easier to see the back metal silver arm u push down to unlock, once you can see what it looks like it's easier to see on the drivers side on the drivers side there is a small area to see the back lock rod look down right behind your battery. Good Luck
