Default Replace headlight 2019 Softail Deluxe

Hoping someone can help me with this one. Bought some hogworks replacement lights- Removed the trim ring, removed the three screws and everything I have found online says the headlight should come out. The headlight still seems attached but I can’t find any other screw holding it in. Anyone have a suggestion for removing it?

Looks about right. There’s an isolation bracket but it’s attached to the bulb itself it looks like. You should be clear to remove.
This if from my 2018 service manual, but I can’t imagine it’s different in the 2019 model.

maybe the connector wire is tight and holding it in?

It could be but I swear it seems more like it’s bolted or screwed in somehow. I may just have the dealership replace it because I’d hate to break anything. The passing lamps popped right out. Odd for sure.

Best of luck. Dealerships can make the pain go away.

Default Bracket for 2018+

I know this is an old question but in case someone in the future needs the info. On my 2019 FLDE Deluxe there is a bolt on the underside connecting the light housing to the forks. The entire housing needs to be removed. Once removed you can slide the entire bulb housing out and remove the screws from the bulb. On a side note it’s 2024 and no one makes an aftermarket option.
