![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
One of my headlights burned out and I recently picked up a replacement.
It turns out that a former owner replaced the US lights with a (euro?) H4 system. If I recall, that was a pricey little upgrade.
Anyway, of to the garage I go with screwdriver in hand! The body-colored trim ring comes off in no time flat. There's a "chrome" bezel around the light with two more screws. I start twisting on those screws, cursing how long there are until one "pops". At that moment I realize I've been twisting one of the two headlamp adjustment screws
What an idiot!
So now I'm baffled. There's a grand total of 3 screws. One held the trim ring in place, the other two are horiz/vert beam adjusting screws.
How the heck does the light come out?

The trim ring screws into the light at the bottom (6 o'clock) position. It actually screws into another screw that holds the light into the fender. Take a flat blade screwdriver and back out the bottom screw of the light and it will come out.

Thanks Geoffrey!
I didn't notice that the 6 o'clock screw screwed into another screw - Crafty Germans! I'll check that out.

If the light doesn't come off easily, just pry it at the same height as the 6 o'clock screw (not anywhere else) with a screwdriver, be sure to wrap the screwdriver in a thick piece of cloth.
