Default How do I change the headlight bulb on this aftermarket light

I can't figure out how to change the bulb on this aftermarket headlight.There are no notches in the ring in front of the lens to help unscrew the trim ring.Any ideas?

I had to use a couple of those rubber jar top grippers. Placed one on each side and applied sideways pressure with my fingers to rotate the ring.

i have the same style light and what jampancoast said is probably the best option as that inner ring screws out to get to the bulb and glass.

Thanks,that's what I thought but didn't want to tear it up.It would be my luck it had left hand threads or a snap ring hidden somewhere that I figured out right after tearing it into many little pieces.

I've got the same light and yes the inner ring unscrews, and once you get that out there is a similar ring on the inside. Not to bad once you get the ring started, just be careful not to crossthread it on the reinstall.
