Hi. Thanks for responding. I tried to remove headlight. Used 5mm hex socket. It did unlock, and slide out about half and inch. Then seemed to be another retainer I don't know about, that needs to be released also. Any ideas? Thanks!

Look under this discussion at thread started by yelojkt titled 06' headlight removal. He has done a step by step.

:) Thank You, Buddy! I put in Silverstars. Noticable improvment on low beam, but WOW improvment on high beam! I drive home late at night, thru many miles of no street lights. So good headlights really matter. Once you showed me the retaining levers, it was fast & easy to remove headlights. Replacing bulbs was fast too. Went back in easy. Thank You so much!
