From what he said:
A friends front driver side headlight blew out and I would like to replace it for her. After looking at it I realized
that I need to remove the side light in order to get the headlight out (at least thats how I see it). I noticed one screw on top which conects it to the headlight assembly but I do not see any other screws or bolts that hold the side light on. Is there any or should it just pop off? Do I need to pop any tabs, etc... I did not want to yank the side light off without being sure. It is a 1992 model I think (maybe a 93)

If you're just replacing the bulb, you dont need to remove anything. You just unscrew the circular thing around the outside of the connector going into the bulb and then pull it straight out.

If you're talking about replacing the whole assembly, I'm not sure exactly how that works, but it should be simple enough. To remove the corner lights, there is just one screw like 93SE said. Remove that and pull outward on the front edge of the corner light. There is a small socket thing that needs to pop out and it may break, but its not a big deal if it does; it will still fit pretty close and wont cause any problems.
