Default Can't open headlight?

I purchased an aftermarket headlight that I was told was made for Harley Davidson motorcycles but for the life of me I can't get it open (it didn't come with any wiring).

Below are pictures of the headlight. The only thing that I've been able to do is remove the front out ring and a hex-head pin screw that was embedded into one of the small holes on the bottom (visible in pics). The inner ring around the lens has three circular indentations and I can move it around, although tight, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Unfortunately, the seller hasn't been able to tell me how to get it open either. I'm hoping someone here has run across the same headlight and can help me out. Below are a bunch of pictures that I hope will help.

Thank you in advance, I really appreciate the help!

that front trim ring should unscrew and the lens with the bulb will slide right out.
