Are you wanting to remove the entire assembly? Or just replace the bulbs? If you're replacing the bulbs, I've found it much easier to open the headlight doors and then reach down in behind. That opens up a much larger space to get your hand down in. Granted it's still somewhat of a tight fit, but at least you can see what you're reaching for too. Grab the back of the bulb housing and give it a slight counter-clockwise twist.

you can get to the entire assembly from going up from underneath...i took out the little Square Etched plastic. out in front of the wheel..and reached..up to get everything out...dunno why your wanting to get it all out...but???it may be hard to pull it all out considering your hand barely fits in there?
