Talking Headlight removal?

Ok I know this is really a dumb question but my truck is nearly as old as I am so bear with me! How do you remove the headlights on these trucks? I need to change both of mine out. Thanks!

Four screws on the trim ring, just inside the plastic, and the plug on the back under the hood.

It would be easier if you remove the plastic around the headlight, maybe not neccessary, but definitley easier.

I usaually just take out the two bottom trim ring screws, lift it up and pop the light out to be honest with you.

If you look around the headlight "bucket" you will see two larger phillips head screws that go into plastic clips and springs, these are your adjusters
