Do I have to remove anything else?
Is there a step to step guide on how to do remove the head light assembly? Seems like it'd be a simple thing to do.
1. the wiring connector can be difficult, but persistence will pay off.
2. remove the 2 metal adjusters on the bottom to get a bit more clearance for removal.
3. wait till you can move the assembly around a bit before attempting to remove the running light. ( don't forget to put it back in before securing the unit !!! )
4. upon re-assembly, get the unit in, then start the 2 metal adjusters a couple of turns.
5. secure the unit with the upper 2 bolts.
6. screw the adjusters in until they just touch the lower mounting brackets, then replace the 2 lower bolts.
7. If you haven't already, re-connect the wiring connector.
