Question Removing the projextor

Can someone give me directions on how to get the stock projector out of the headlight housing? I used the 10mm wrench on the bolt inside. The two directional screws are stuck on the plastic clip piece. I did it before I just cant remember. I im trying to do a retrofit. Help! Pics are very helpful

if you already removed the cover, you can use a 8mm wrench to twist out each directional adjuster. Then I think you use a 10mm wrench to undo the last one...

pretty easy if you have it open...

if the aiming screws are stuck on the plastic clip piece, you have to start pulling the projector out as you unscrew it to force it out. Be careful, you could snap that clip if you aren't.

I believe one or both of the aiming screws have reversed threads, so try turning them in the opposite direction.
