if u look at the inside of the headlight, right beside the low beam hoousing, there should be a grey/silver bolt that is kind of long you can tweak it to your liking. sorry if it doesn't make sense. but you should not need to take anything out all you need is an L shaped screwdriver.

I had the same problem today replacing my HID low beams. I just took a flat head, and pushed the bowl up. Be careful though! If you push TOO hard, it'll snap right off lol
