To remove the housing itself, you have to remove the front bumper.. it's like 6-8 bolts holding it on, pretty easy to remove.. the light housing itself is held on by a few plastic screw type inserts and a few screws..after you remove it all, the whole housing just pops off.. to separate the 2 housing pieces, that's another matter.. you gotta bake them to separate the 2 pieces....

take off the bumper and you should see what you need to remove.

there is a clip under the headlight housing that secures it, after all the bolts are removed, you need to pull it forward then off.. what I mean by pulling it forward is pull horizontal to undo that little clip..

i use a flat screwdriver to gently separate the clip so it pops out mroe easily.
