Default Light Bulb Housing

My passenger light-bulb housing for my smoked headlights is jammed in place... I can't twist it, can't turn it, can't pull it, can't shimmy it and there's damned not alot of room to work in there... any suggestions?

I tried doing that but it won't come out from the side, I'm figuring something is connected to that signalling bulb or something but I can't fit my hand through it to unhook it, whatever it is.

In other words how the hell do I remove the headlight after the two tabs?

I don't know what would make it stick, but if it is just pull like hell after you've got the two bars out.

Try shaking it dude...after you unplug the headlight, and remove the two pins that hold the headlight housing in place it should come out. Try shaking back and forth quickly and it should come out. The turn signal bulb wire is rather long, so you're entire headlight housing should come out without you needing to unplug the turn signal..

Well there's something defective with the housing and the headlamp that I bought, they don't fit right, at all. The place I took it too just jammed it in there so it was only half-fitting and half-not... I eventually got it, thanks guys

So did everything fit now??

I had slight slight problems fitting my driver side headlight due to my Saleen bumper sitting a little high.

Yeah actually the bumper is cracked where the shop had to jam it in.. but a few good love taps and I got it in, they just ****ing suck at lighting the road, like I said I'll get em' aimed and be on my merrry way.
