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...

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.
