All you need is small booklet entitled, "Owners Manual" Should be in there. Twist out light ...

Page 7-25 on the 1995 version of the owners manual ...

You guys are horrible. Please read posts before you comment. He specifically stated that the bulb is OUT! He wants to know how to take off the damn light, NOT the bulb.

Anyway, you need a flat-headed screw driver long enough to reach one of the bottom clips that still holds the light in place even after it's loose. You need to poke at and pop the plastic clip out of the hole. I admit, it is difficult the first couple times I did it. Eventually, you will get good at it and do it in no time.

He should still read the manual, it explains step by step ... Simple stuff.

just don't pry it too hard, i did this and chiped my corner lens. after that i sanded down the ball joints so they don't grip so hard, theres a screw in the top anyways to secure it

I found it easier to find the widest flat head you can, and twist the screw driver instead of prying to pop the lens out

Once you take out the screw, pull on the front of the lense a little to make a bit of space. Now look towards the bottom of the front.

(You might need a flashlight.)

There's a little **** that plugs into a plastic hole in the headlight housing. You need to slip a flat screwdriver in between and twist. It should pop right out.

Now to prevent future annoyance, slap a little grease in the hole. You won't have a problem afterwards.
