Default 97 F-350 Headlight Door

I have a 97 F-350 (old body style), that I am trying to remove the headlight doors. There are two screws on top, but then I can't figure out how to get it off. Can anybody help?
Thanks

Look between the bumper 'top surface' and the amber park lamp.. (the gap between) You'll see 2 phillips screws to be removed.. Grab them as you remove them or they can drop behind the bumper and can get lost On the upper most tip of the side marker lamp there is a bullet syle retainer there.. Be sure to pull that portion of the lamp assembly straight out..

Thanks, but your diagram and instructions are for the newer body style, my headlights are different, with no screws under the amber park light. Any other ideas?

You did say older didn't you!! .Opp's. There are 2 cut out area's in the 'backside' of the radiator support (2 per lamp/side) that have 7/16 nuts on studs holding the lower portion of the park lamp in place. Look at the backside of the radiator support and locate the bulb socket for the park/turn lamps. The access holes are about 3" to 'each side' of the bulb socket position.
