remove the 2 screws on the chrome outer ring around the light and it will come out. I had to heat up the screws with a torch to get them to come out. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN THE PAINT IF YOU USE A TORCH!!!! i never had one of those screws come out easily, they all needed some persuasion.

good luck.

Flame came in handy, 2 of the screws on the left one were stripped.. All set now, the lights are a crapload better than the old ones.. Nice and white, with a slight blue tint, ahhhh.

Thanks man.

You could have just used pliers to take off the spring and then took it out whole assembly and did it on the ground.
