Default Anyone know the trick to get the headlight assembly out?

I was trying to get my headlight assembly out of my car. I did a search and found a video on YouTube. The guy made it look pretty easy but when I tried I couldn't get it out of the pin on the fender. I had my dad try it as well and he had no luck either.

Anyone know of a trick or have some good pics of what it takes to get it out?

The 2001-2003 LS430 headlight assembly can be removed without removing the front bumper cover. The 2004-2006 is a bit more involved. The "pin" you mentioned was the give-away that it was a 2001-2003 LS430...

Hmm....thanks. That's why it wouldn't come out. Guess I'll be looking at doing a headlight restoration kit instead.
