Headlight Removal

I tried searching this but, i kept getting an HTTP 500 error. Just got some option racing headlights but, can't figure out how to remove my old headlights.

Remove the corner lights; there's a screw that holds them in at the top of the headlight. Then pull them out. Then there's two screws that hold the headlight in from the side, then there are two nuts on the back side of the light close to the radiator support, beside a large loom of wires.

Lol, I thought it was pretty self explanatory, I removed mine for the first time w/ no trouble... It's gettin those damn adjusters off which sucks....

i got the driver's side out, took a breather and installed the bumper lights, mounted the driver's side light and now have the passenger corner light out and am about to go finish. However i did F* up my grill's mounting hardware so i'll have to go get some new ones tommorow. Mabye. I might do some touch up work on my nissan emblem and repaint the letters since the black is kinda faded.

FWIW, My grill is ziptied to the body, thanks to a certain previous owner... Honestly I haven't had any problems with it.
