Stupid question: Need help removing headlights.
Ok, I know there are no stupid questions, but some are pretty darn close like this one.
How do I remove the bezel cover to access the headlight? I thought it would simply pull out after taking the screws off, but it didn't. The bottom is lower than the front lip and I've been trying to pry it out for hours, and I fear I may damage it.
What I'm I doing wrong? Is there a specific procedure? I can't believe something as simple as this has stop me for hours.
Thanks,
Ismael

Underneath the headlight on the spring arm, there's an adjustment bolt. Turn the bolt one way and the lights go lower, turn them the other way and they get higher. You can crank on it until the door raises high enough for you to slide the bezel out. After you put it all back together, you'll have to readjust everything to level it back out.
Enjoy!

It looks like your buckets are not high enough. There are 4 screws holding the bezel on. You should be able to put your hand up behind it and push it into the locked position to get to the screws.

They are all removed. The order of the pics was inverted. 
They are locked in the up position so I need to raise them a bit more with the adjusting screw suggested earlier.
Thanks!

Dont forget to remove the upper stop arm. Well that's what I call it anyway. It is the metel arm that has a single bolt in it, this arm goes towards the radiator and it stops the upper limit of the whole light assembly. I think this arm is to provide some support when the light is in the up position.
