     REmoved both lens (high and low) and metal frame assembly all
     at once.  4 screws will do that. 2 wire plugs: 1 for each bulb.
     The low beam: it's just a 9004 bulb(simple). The high beam
     gets a little more complicated. Don't touch the bulbs! Handle them 
     by the lamp base. Touching the bulb will cause premature dead to
     the bulb.
