I need to replace the headlight on my Pontiac grand am. It is a 2000 and has about 55,000 miles on it. I can't seem to figure out how to pop out the assembly to get to the headlight, I have tried unscrewing several things but it doesnt seem to help. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The beam adjustment screws are in a square threaded piece. This piece of plastic is held in by a metal clip that is underneath the plastic shrouding that sits atop the lights/top radiator support/and evenrything else up front. I know its hard to get the lights out, but it's even more fun putting them back in. No suggestions on that one since it's the reverse of taking them out...just a pain that's all.
