There is one screw in the corner lamp, then you pull it out.

On the back of the headlights there are four (4) bolts.

4 bolts right behind the headlamp. 2 you can see, the other you have to get to by taking out the corners. To get the corners off there is 1 bolt that holds the corner in place on top of the headlamp. If it doesn't seem to move no worries, there is a joint on the outer side of the corner light just kindof pry until you can get your fingers around both sides and pull...it may have to be hard, just unhook the light so you don't rip it out of the socket.

Good luck to you on it. I remember when I first did mine. What a PITA it was cause I didn't know about the nub thing at the bottom. For that I took a long flat head screw driver and pried it between the nub and the thing holding it and popped right off.

the corners pull out kinda hard, they are attatched by a small ball joint type thing, try to look in and pull straight out, otherwise it may break. (i broke my the first one i took out because i didnt pull it straight out)
