wow you get your headlights in 2 weeks?

judging from that picture, you will need to pull it towards the camera. Gotta put some muscle into it. Man I just feel like flying over there just to remove it for you

alright got it off with some pliers and grabbed the back of the connecter and pulled it off. Thought i broke it for a second. But yet another problem. Some smaller wires wont pull through. I dont know i guess they are little lights on the top part of the headlight not the turn signal.

ah thank god everything is out and done. That only took 3 hours. Thanks guys for all the help. Maybe some one should do a easy little DIY for just prepping the headlights to get painted cuz i was lost. Anyway thanks for all the advice especially at 3 am haha.

Ill post pics up of the finally product when i get them on my car.

Putting it back together is actually quite simple; just reverse the dissasembly steps. I strongly recommend downloading an FSM. And don't forget to get new ballast gaskets (o rings); they have to be replaced anytime ballast is removed. About $12 for 2 from your dealer. Extremely cheap insurance for very expensive ballasts.

And you didn't need to remove the harness connector on the base of the headlight; it is sturdy-enough to withstand oven temps. I never removed mine when I took the lights apart.
