89 Ranger 4x4 - headlight asembly replacement

How the heck do I get the headlight assembly out?
My HAYNES book which is titled for '89 model lists only the prior (86?) design headlight and those instructions don't work.
Second: is there any website with parts manuals? for review and ordering Ranger or Mustang parts????

Once you have located the adjusters for the unit, you usaully have to squeeze the tabs at the back of both adjusters then the unit fill pop out. If this isn't the case, whatever component the adjusters goes through is the componenet that will need to come off, along with the head lamp, and then seperated on the bench.

Thank you for your reply. My question could have been worded better - its not the headlight bulb thats the problem, its the headlight assembly (that the bulb fits into). I've got a replacement assembly (for the cracked and leaking original), but cannot figure out what holds the parking light/headlight assembly in place - Neither Haynes nor Chilton books are of any help.
