Do you have your owners manual and the headlight removal tool that's in the tool kit that came with the car?

Headlight removal is detailed in the owner's manual. In short: loosen the trunk sidewall carpet, remove the rubber plug, insert supplied removal tool into the hole, turn 90 degrees to unlock the light, another 90 to push it out, and remove.

When I got my box last year I was reading the owner's manual and saw how to pull the headlight assembly. I couldn't believe it was really that easy, so I pulled one for the hell of it. It was the easiest thing I've done to any car anytime. No harder than filling the tank with gas!!
