A few more specifics would help.

What are you replacing? Burned out bulb? The glass lens? The whole housing? What do you want? XB headlights? A dirt bike number plate? A vintage gas lamp?

the head light is an H4, remove the lens and reflector by the Philips screw at 6:00 the glass and trim ring come out as a unit.

a plug and wire bale hold the lamp in.

the front and reflector are glass so ez does it.

good luck ...

On this forum, I've learned to never assume it's the simple answer that they're looking for.

The philips screw is captive. Don't remove it all the way just unscrew it "a lot"
Then carefully pry the glass out.
Replacement of bulb is easy at that point.

And like any other smart person, disconnect the battery negative cable before doing any electrical work.
