Please Help With Headlight Installation
Sorry for all the caps had to get someone in here fast. Prom is tomorrow and I want to install my Silverstars. I took the three screws out and took the black plastic piece off, but what next? The thing is held on there pretty tight and I have no clue what to do next. If anyone has some info or a web page I could visit it'd be appreciated.

The bezel has a tab on the top ... it goes under the headlight cover. Just pull it forward ... I usually start by turn the sides on the bezel upwards ... this makes the bezel come forward.
Just make sure you seat the lightbulb properly so you don't have misaligned lights.
Have fun ... be careful and take lots of pictures.
No drinking and driving.

Ok you have the light cranked in the up position, and you removed the plastic brezels....Now you have to reach to the outside bulb .....Mine were stuck...turn it left and right until it comes loose.

Pop up the headlights then disconnect the battery. Start by removing 3 Philips screws from the sides of the headlight bezel cover. (The black plastic part that surrounds the headlights)
If you grab the top of the bezel, and pull forward, it should tilt downward. Then you can lift up and pull it out.
Once you work the bezel off you will be able to reach behind the headlight assy. and replace the bulb. Sometimes they are pretty tough to unlock. Be firm but not aggressive.
When I replaced mine, I turned on the headlights to bring them to attention, then, turned the switch to the parking light position and disconnected the battery. I had the hood opened. It was still a tight fit but I managed to get it done.
Hope this helped some. Best of luck and have fun.
