The bulbs are removed from rear of assembly after removing headlight assembly. There are two wing nuts securing the entire plastic headlight assembly. One is mounted at the top-inboard(towards engine), And the other is outboard of the assembly. Once these two wingnuts are removed, carefully remove the whole assembly
