are you trying to take out the bulb or remove the whole pop up unit? ---

if you pop your light up, take off 4 screws around the plastic on both sides, 2 on each side, than you will see more stuff inside if u cant figure it out, i dont suggest taking apart the whole assembly, if u wanna change the bulb its from behind ---

> [@alesserfate](#): > > i dont suggest taking apart the whole assembly, if u wanna change the bulb its from behind Like matty said, you cannot remove the bulb. You have to replace the whole assembly. - Remove the 4 screws for the plastic cover - Remove the 2 adjusting screws for the assembly - Remove the spring for the assembly - Unplug the assembly - Separate the bezel and rear bracket to remove the headlight - Replace with new headlight in reverse order. ---

The bulb is soldered in and sealed permanently. ---

> [@MR.Large a.k.a. sil\_via](#): > > the sealed unit is the bulb I think we’re getting ourselves confussed. By assembly, I mean the reflector. Which contains the bulb. What I meant is that you cannot just replace the small bulb, like you can with a sidemarker.
