HELP w/Headlight Clips!

Hi guys,
Put this on the SD forum also, only beacuse I am trying to change these headlamps (01' to the jewel effect) right now! Any help on how to remove my 01' headlamps, starting with those clips, would help me out big time !! Thanks!

03EDGE,
Actually, I did ask him when he got home and he did mention a special tool was usually used. He showed me how to get the lights out and explained that it would be easier to take the battery out for the driver's side replacement.

I ordered the AIS and have to remove all that plastic junk from around battery anyway. I will start that today.

He also offered to put my 4" exhaust system, gauges, rear diff. cover, and wash &wax the truck all for free. He also told me to page him any time I have a problem. Incredible huh?

Well I got those clips off, took the batteries out, and the lights are in. Too bad the AIS did not come today.

Yeah, my neighbor is great, but don't tell him! LOL
