Changing the Turn signal lights??

How the heck do you get to the turn signal lights in the front? I'm just changing the yellow bulbs and I can't seem to get the headlight out???? I'm sweating just trying to figure it out without breaking anything. I do have the Xenon headlights if that makes a difference????

I would remove the plastic strip below each head light, then remove the three 10mm screws, then pull out the whole light assembly for easy access to the bulbs. Thats how I did my regular headlights on my ML 430. My 2 cents.

just like azn said but.. theres a screw on the top also that needs to be removed then a small clip next to it.. once you do that make sure to disconnect the wires.. the turn signal wire needs to be twisted to come out
