Reply to BOBBY's Post: I can see the strap or spring clip that holds the cover on but I don't have enough room to remove the cover. Does this mean that the whole light assembly has to come out?

You may need to remove the entire headlight. Remove it at these points is the picture. You may have to first remove the upper radiator cover. Let me know what happens.
