Default Removing headlight (2006) ??

I've removed everything i can see that's attached to it, but it seems like there is something on top holding it in. Anyone have any tips on removal? I'm need to get them off to put in black ones

Thanks. I found that after posting. I'll go mess with it and see if it comes out.

With the lights on my 04 there were the same clips. Just yank on it and the whole housing should pop out.

I got the 2 in front, and the one in the wheel well. Only problem is i have no way of reaching the plastic cube on the drivers side.

I thought that the white clip that I could see on the inside of the fender had to come off that ball/stud thing in order to get the light out!


Not knowing for sure how to get them off it took me like 30 minutes to get the gonads to just RIP my stockers out when I did mine last week. Never even thought to read the owners manual.
