Default headlight help

I am needing to take out my passenger headlight to clean out some dust, and I was wondering how to take it off.

What's your car?

The usual procedure is popping the hood and there are white clips on both sides of the headlight that you would pull out.

Pop the hood look to the left side of the left light there is a white plastic tab that is the top of the clip. Pull UP on the tab and the clip will come off. The right tab of the left light is under a little black plastic flap pull up and get your hand under that flap you will see/feel the second white plastic tab pull up on that one remove it and the light will be loose. Pull the whole headlight towards your body maybe with a little jiggle and it should come out. BE sure to disconnect the wire harness from the back.

Hey captaindamnit, make sure you don't drop the "white clips" that holds the headlights onto your monte down, in between the body of the front end. Its a b*%^$ trying to get it out.
