Trouble removing a headlight bezel.

So I have a Drag Specialties 2001-0208 headlight that was painted black and installed on my night train back in July '11 by the dealership while some other work was also getting done. The low beam is not working but the high beam still works fine. I am thinking that I just need to replace the bulb but for some reason I can not get the bezel off of the headlight. I have remove both screws that are at the bottom of the headlight. Any ideas on how to remove the headlight bezel?

After removing the screws, spin off the bezel counter-clockwise!

Thanks, it was the type of bezel that spins off.

Not that this has anything to do with your bezel, but I just replaced my fender tip lamp and aux fog lamp bulbs from the Napa parts store for less that half what Harley would have charged for the bulbs... $5.00 for 2 tip lamps, $8.99 for aux fog lamp bulbs and 5 minutes of time.
