Headlights fine, just twist it and off it comes. The sidelight does take a bit of patience to take out. I use a small flat head as a support and carefully pull it out.

as "drennan" said use the wires that go in to the sidelight and just pull it out (the wires are quite strong) but the next pain is puttin it back in, need to get someone who have small hands or fingers :lol:
