Help removing headlights
 

OK, surely this is something simple I am overlooking. I have H4 headlights and cannot figure out how to remove them.

I have removed the rings.
There are 2 screws on each light that I can see. One at approximately 2 o'clock and the other at aproximately 8 o'clock. Both turn freely in each direction without much resistance.

What next?

Once you loosen those two screws it should pop off. The headlight itself is also held on by a small lip underneath the headlight ring. Try lifting up and out with the headlight assembly while wiggling it back and forth to loosen it.

what Jon T said...mine are held on by a single screw @ 6 o'clock,and once removed you might have to push in and up to remove the housing w/ring....I don't think that you have to mess w/those 2 screws @ 2 and 8 (not sure though since I don't have the Xtra ring)

You only need to release the srew at 6 o'clock - it shouldnn't come out completely. the other 2 are to adjust the beam

Ditto Jappy and Phil. You should be able to unhook the light after you loosen the 6 o'clock screw. If you have changed the orientation of the others you will have to reaim the light.

Thanks for all the suggestions but it is still not moving.

is your 6 o'clock screw... a screw w/in a screw?? what I'm saying is that if you have the extra ring, there should be a screw that screws into the head of the 6 o'clock screw that holds the trim ring into the headlight bucket. It's hard to tell your pic is a little close but I can see the adjusting screws and just barely make out the 6 o'clock screw?

I'll try to find some pics of my headlight bucket and maybe that will give a better pic of what your dealing w/

Maybe it is a screw within a screw. I'll check that.

Thanks,

It was a screw within a screw.

Thanks

AFIK, that shouldn't be the case. The S w/i a S is for ring covers whick also cover the adjusting screws. (At least the ones I have seen do.) You should be able to go back to a single screw. Pelican has them for not too much money.
