From the back side under the hood on teh back of the light is rubber caps over the holes. Remove the rubber cap then unplug the bulb. Then unhook the metal tab and slide the bulb out.

Becareful the plastic in the mountings break alot and then the headlight flops around.Also the plastic on the plug falls apart as well.

Did you enter the code wrong 3 times?
If not stop by local Dealer and get the Radio code they should give it for Free.
Then you will need to input it into the radio for it to work.

Also slide the radio out and make sure no one wrote it on the sticker already.
