There are two screws on the top of the head light bezel and then it pulls out. There are two screws that hold the light in place. Once you do that you can pull the light out.

This is the driver side light. For this side there are two srews. One on the bottom left and the other on the top right. Reverse for the passanger side light. Hope this helps
