I sent you a request on Saturday asking how to remove the Driver-side head light assembly. I have removed everything except the upper outer nut if there is one. Additionally, the assembly seems to be attached to the turn signal light assembly, but I can't figure out how to remove that either. I am hoping you can respond sometime soon so I can drive the car.

Hello,

In order to replace the headlight assembly, you will have to remove the front bumper cover.

Removing the front bumper cover can be done fairly easily by removing all the bolts and plastic fasteners.
All you will need is basic hand tool. Like a flat head screw driver and a correct size socket and wrench.

Here is a helpful video of how to replace the headlight assembly:

Any time the headlight assembly is replaced it is important to adjust the light for correct output pattern.
I have attached the adjustment procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
