Replacing Headlight within headlight assembly

reverse steps for intall.
it only took me about 30-40 minutes from start to finish.

Just want to clarify that the headlight within the whole assembly can be changed out. Sounds like this is what I have been searching for so long. Dealer told me this was not possible as the headlight is welded to the assembly......

I did one of those inexpensive HID kits and am throwing light everywhere except on the road....I am looking to replace with other reflectors that will do a better job ie...better cutoff and no weird patterns....

Saw a comparison on a jeep website and the 7" reflectors on the JK seemed to offer a decent cutoff.

BTW, this is my first post and thank you for all the great info. Just bought an 08 Solar Flare H2 with 35,000 miles. Beat vehicle I have ever driven.
