Default how do I install silverstars?

Hi guys, I know this sounds dumb, but how do I change my OEM headlight bulbs? I cant reach the plugs through the space between the grill and top of the radiator, even if I remove my battery and I dont see a an opening just for that purpose unless I missed it.
So do I remove the chrome frame around the headlight and which fasteners do I remove to access my headlight so I can reach the plug behind it? Or is there an easier way I just completely overlooked??
I told you this was a stupid question peace, boulonman

Here is the image that should help you. Pull both of your tabs upwards and out comes your headlight. When replacing the light make sure you get the two tabs on the bottom of the light back into position.

Just to clarify, once the tabs have been lifted, pull the light assemblies up and slightly out toward the front. They may be tight. And installing those bottom tabs sometimes requires holding your mouth in a different position to get them to go in.
