Default Head Light removal for Service

I need to replace the daytime running lights, and obviously the whole damned headlight has to come out.
Anyone know It looks like all four star bolts come out, but what about the harness can't see how that presses of or on.

I'm, screwed the bumper has to come off as well.
I took off all four bolts and it almost wiggles off but it won't come off unless the front bumper is loosened and move up a few inches.
That pisses me off. I will have to try andtackle this when I have more time.
I wil just turn off the daytime running lights for now. Shoot.

Thanks to Auditech 79 he told me that the cover pops off in the back for access.
I can get my hands on the light holder that screws off but I can't seem to get it to turn off.
I am afraid I will break it.
Anyone replaced the bulb in the DRL that has done this before.
My hands are too big.
I don't want to take off the mineral oil reserve if I can avoid it but darn it's tight down there.

Hey Colorado do you always talk to your self?

I beleive there is a removal tool for this job! Don't know where to get it but you might be able to fabricate one.

Be interested to know what you find out.
