Default Headlight Help!

I know this is a complete noob question, and ive read the manual witch wasnt real helpful, HOW THE HELL DO YOU CHANGE THE BULBS?? I have never seen it be so hard, any tips? i couldnt figure it out after a half hour of tinkering, i took those 2 screws out but i cannot get the headlight to pull out unless i use a lot of force, wich i feel isnt necasary and im missing a screw or something

There is another bolt on the outside bottom corner hidden above the bumper.

theres 3 10mm bolts.. 2 when u pop the hood on the inside, and 1 in the bottom corner which u need a 6" or longer extension to take out. once u have all bolts removed, grab headlight form outside corners and pull straight out... might be a pain cause sometimes the clips get caughteither the bumper or fender, but its not too bad.. im in the process of painting my headlights as i type this.. waiting for the paint to dry.

A bit scary at first. As has been posted, take out the inboard screws. The outboard screw under the assembly can be a bear to get to. Take those three screws and the push pin above the inboards out and just pull the assembly toward you. Once it's out the lamps are easy to replace. Make sure you don't touch the bulb with your fingers.
