This is a how to that will show you how to remove/change a headlight, check the connection and adjust the headlight up/down and left/right.
You will need:
-Philips (+) head screwdriver.
-H6054 Sealed Dual Beam headlight(if you're replacing your headlight)
-3 Prong connector(if your replacing headlight connector.
Before you start on anything, to the right of the steering wheel is 3 switches. First switch is the one you need pushed on. Its the headlight up switch that keeps your headlights in the up position whether lights are on or not. The other two switches are your dimmer switch for gauge lighting and the rear defroster switch. Make sure you have the headlight switch to the right of the steering wheel pressed. DO NOT TAKE YOUR HEADLIGHTS OUT WITH YOUR HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON. DOING SO COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION.
First, start off by removing the four screws in the black front cover. They're circled/arrowed in red. One on each side of the housing and two on top. The 2 yellow circles, one on the left, one on bottom are for directing the light beam in your set angle. You don't remove any screws just to adjust the light beam direction. To only adjust light direction, use only the two screws. No need to remove anything otherwise but this is only if you're changing your light direction and not the bulb itself.

Now, remove the black outer housing. It will look like this.

Now, to remove the headlight, remove the three screws, two on top sides, one on bottom. They're circled in green. CAUTION:THESE METAL RINGS ARE KNOWN TO BE FRAGILE AT THE SPOT WELD IN THE CENTER. HANDLE WITH CARE.

This ring around the headlight that retains it in should look like this.

Now, gently pull the top of the headlight out and down so you can disconnect the connector on the rear of the housing.

To replace your connector, just cut and splice/solder right past the old connector. They corrode and rust over time and tend to pull wires out of the connectors at times because of consistent opening and closing of the lid. Sometimes, this is where headlight problems are when they wont light up suddenly.

You can also see the two adjustment screws on the bottom and left of the housing.
The reinstallation is reverse order of disassembly. Enjoy. : D
