Default Chinese 110 Headlight replacement

Anyone out there with experience in changing out the headlight bulb in a Redcat MPX 110 (similar to the dual headlight arrangement in the Kazuma or Jetmoto units)....I know..sounds simple, but can't seem to get my hands in the area needed behind the headlamps and almost seems like the lenses are molded the the front plastics.....is there a way to get to the bulbs from the front.

Thanks in advance.

The lense are glued to the plastic...any way of removing the whole light assy to access the back of it?

Thanks MWQ, it looks like all the plasrics may have to come off. The light assemblys actually look to be in the unused airbox positioned at the front of the plastics. Look to be held in by screws, but even then not sure if when the fenders plastics are off I could still even get to the screws. There is a rubber boot around the wire attachments, but moving/wiggling it seems to torq the whole thing.....was hoping for a pull and twist out.

I just went and looked at one of my Yamoto lights...If I pull back the rubber boot...underneath it is a sort of socket...I pushed in and turned it counter clockwise and it came out..and then the bulb came out..it doesnt look like it will do this at all....
