This is just a heads up for those of us who work on our own vehicles or would like to.
When replacing the headlight bulb the complete assembly must be removed by removing two megal tabs and one nut.
This sounds easy and can be if you spray each metal tab with penetrating oil and let sit for a while.
Without the lubrication the tabs hardly budge.
Once that is done the tabs pull out using a tool of your choice to grab it and pull.
I just got done and this made it much easier.
Both sides are the same.
Also test each light before reassembly.
Luckily I did this and found out the brand new bulb was faulty.
Hope this helps someone .
Instructions also found on youtube .
