remove headlights on a 99 Ranger?
I bought some new black headlights that I am trying to install, but cant get the old OEM headlights removed? Ive tried every tool I have, but the pins have these stupid clips over them that I cant get out of the way to unscrew the bolt-ish thing holding it in (I'm a total newbie, can you tell 
)...
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
Brandon

I just used a right angled pick. Put it on one side and pull until it comes us alittle, then switch sides until you get it off. The C-Clips are surprisingly easy once you get them off. Be very careful! My first time I broke 3 of them. They go for $4 a piece at the stealership. I put them back on with a flat blade screwdriver. Push down on both sides until you get it on.
