anybody have trouble removing the headlights? I removed all 3 screws and it's still hard to budge. It seems to be more stuck where the corner piece is. It's hard to get over that rubber mount. Any suggestions on an easy method to pulling the headlight out :(

this one feels kinda scary. ok, i'll explain for the driver's side as if you are facing it. make sure you have all the bolts out - even that little one near the left side of the headlight down a bit. then when you can move it around a bit, wedge your fingers on your right hand between the corner light and the body and start to pull. use your left hand to provide additional pull on the headlamp. it is kinda scary, like you are going to break something. it will pop out, so make sure you brace yourself so you don't fly backward!! good luck!

There is a retaining-press-in-thingy that holds the light in on both sides. It takes some effort but will pop out just like Seneb said...
