How do I remove Headlight surround?
I have a 2002 G500. I want to change a headlight. The owners manual shows 2 screws at the top of the headlight surround. My G500 does not have screws. How do they come off? Please help!

two screws at the bottom of the surround. just above the bumper.
The screws only need to be loosened, not removed. Loosen the screws, then gently pull up on the surround. There are tabs at the top of the surround.
Be gentle, and it will come off fairly easily. Once removed, pay attention to the screws that you remove to change the headlight. Don't accidentally screw the adjustment screws. 3 small screws remove the headlight assembly.

Thanks sooooo much for your response. What you describe is what is in my owners manual. However, the headlight surrounds on my vehicledo not have any screws. I am stumped. Before I try forcing anything I would like to know the correct method.
