The easiest way to do it is if you remove the 2 pins holding the headlight assembly in place and slide it out just a bit so you have a more room to work. Then twist and pull...

and replace...

I replaced mine the same way 4.6 said, just mess with it, there is a little like plastic pin thing you gotto lift up behind it, just look at how its mounted

If they haven't been out in a while they can be a pain in the a$$ to remove.

I replaced both headlight buckets on my GT, due to some pretty extensive plastic cancer and hazing. Had to use more force than I expected to gettem loose.
