Hey Guys,

I know you slide out the 2 bars up front, but what do you have to do to get the back part to let go?

After you side the two metal tabs straight up, the entire headlight assembly will then be able to be move outwards (may require a little bit of force at first), but you will have to unclip the two harnesses for the turn signal & headlamp bulbs first, before you can fully remove the headlight assembly.

...

yup
but you might want to put a rag on your bumper right in front of and slightly under the light so it doesnt scratch your bumper if it comes out too fast...

It will only come out part way and then you have to release two connections...they are easy to figure out. One for head lamp and one on the side for the signals.

If your not real careful...Its easy to break the tab off the head lamp connector....dont worry about it it still stays on just fine if you do break it...
