    When i replaced the blubs in my headlights i removed the glass off the front of the light. There are clips all way around the front of the light holding the glass on the headlight it self. Unless there is a easy way then i would like to also know. Thats the only way i know of doing it.

    Mind you when i did replace them i also gave the inside a wash and clean up so i hit 2 birds with one stone.

    Ok Dont pull the light appart to change a globe, basically Donutface your proceedure is correct but the metal globe housing needs to be pushed in before rotating it. It works better if you push down evenly on each side.

    If you have further problems I can post a pic for you.

    cheers
