Default help with headlight removal

Ok so i was trying to take my headlight off . How do you remove the headlight from the eyebrow on a nightster. Does it just unscrew was a little afraid to bare down on it just incase i was wrong. i took the headlightout and can see what looks like a large carrage bolt going into the eyebrow. Thanks Perk

Pop off the little circle cap on top of the eyebrow.

Look on top of the visor, there is a round cover in the middle. Pop the cover off then you can see the nut holding the headlight bolt in place.
