I want to replace the headlight assy, but I can't get it out without feeling like I'm getting ready to break something. I've removed the 2 screws up top. Are there some more that must be removed to get that grille shell off that surrounds the lights?

there are two nuts that go into the back of the turn signal from inside the engine compartment, i want to say they are 10mm,
take those out and the turn signal / corner light / bezel comes out, then you can get at the screws and what not for the headlight itself.

yes they are 10mm and kinda hard to see/find, but are below the actual headlight on the inside.

thanks for the info guys. You are right, they are a complete pain in the you know what. But, the new lights look sooo much better than the old ones. Even my wife couldn't get over the difference. I think I'm going to replace the corners and turn signals too.

hey man where did you pick your new headlights up from and for how much? I have been looking for some. don't want the crystals. my friend who works for ford said to buy the ford headlights cause they don't turn yellow as fast. I already have clear corners for it and the headlight arn't matching and pisses me off evertime i see it. thanks for the input.
