Do u mean just the bulbs or the whole housing? For the bulbs you need to pull out two retaing pins located at the tope of the housing. The pull the entire housing out gently. Now turn the retaining circle thing (sorry couldnt come up with a better word) thats in the back of the head lamp bulb to the right. Carefully pull out the old bulb and unplug it from the wire. Just plug the new one in and put everything back together.

If you want to replace the entire housing then follow the aformentioned procedure and do the same for the turn signal lamps. Then just plug the old bulbs into the new housing and put the retaining pins back in.

Congrats on the bullit to man!

if you are just doing the bulbs you wont beed to take the whole headlight just reach behind it and turn the thing that hold the bulb until it will pull out then switch the bulb and then do the same thing to put it back in.

Sorry I should have clarified what I meant. The entire housings is what i am replacing. Thanks for the feedback also, So it is just the two clips at the top??? Pull those off and the whole housing comes out??
