You mean headlight? Or headlight bulb?

More details would help...namely, why do you need to take your headlights out? JDM swap?

You have to take off the bumper cover and the actual bumper to remove the headlights. I spent hours trying to figure it out, but thats what it says in the helms. Take your time - don't break anything.

If you don't have the helms, there's a headlight swap here: JDM Headlight swap guide

um guys, I think he is talking about the BULB, and I'm guessing 4th gen, because they can be a PITA if they get stuck

Let me guess - the little thing you twist is stuck?

Take a Long, Flat head screw driver, and put the tip on your right side (when standing in front of the car) of the round thing that holds the bulb in.

Then, give the top a tap with a hammer.

loosens it right up.

This is as if you were looking at it from the back of the housing... (lefty loosey!)
