Hello, I'm Danny.

You will only need a philips screwdriver. Use the screwdriver to remove the plastic trim piece surrounding the dual headlight assembly (circled in red) After removal you will have access to the headlight retainer ring. Use the screwdriver to remove the 4 screws. Using your fingers unplug harness from sealed beam headlamp. Picture attached below.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
