hi ihad the same problem yes you do have to take the head light out. you have to undo the hex bolt on top of light and then get a long screw driver as there are two little push down hooks , one on each side of head light but dont push to hard you may break them they sort of just clip under something down there. have a look in your owners manual as they tell you how to take the head light out. as what i have said sounds wrong some how but when you look at light and manual you will see what i mean.hope this helps
