They unscrew like the others stated... be careful when unscrewing those plastic retainer screws because mopar at this time does not sell them individually and it's easy to mess them up if just using a flat head. I used a 1.5 inch putty knife and it worked like a charm and did not mess up the retainers. Some others have used the top edge of a box cutter razor which is almost the same size as the flat head seam on the retainer. Also, it's best to slightly push into screw retainer when turning. Hope that helps.>
Thanks for the help, all. I should have been more specific as I had no problem getting the access door open. What I meant was the round cover behind the headlight. Does that unscrew or pry off. thanks.
Number 5 in the following picture, is behind the bulb, correct ?
So I found out yesterday that you can easily pry them out with a screw driver. When you put them back on, line up the tabs on cover with slots in housing, then turn clockwise to secure. Thanks for all the help everyone.
I wonder why they are designed like this, maybe to seal as you can forge water with these Jeeps.

Need help to access the headlight bulbs on a 2016, and location of adjustment screws on the projector headlights. The dealer wants to charge my $92 dollars to adjust the headlights, that is absolutely ridiculous.
Note: There is no longer a door in the wheel well to access the headlights. Bad design on Chrysler/Jeep for taking that away.
Sorry fo rthe late reply, I didn't see your post until now. If you are still waiting on an answer...
Member @David_Baker posted a nice pic of the adjuster screw, just follow next link :
There are two techniques :
1) From behind through the wheelwell : remove 3 screws on the wheelwell adn peel back for headlight access (and fog light access too). You can do this without removing wheels ; just crank steering wheel to one side.
2) From above by removing airbox (passenger side) and battery (driver side).
Do you have to remove the airbox? It's kind of cramped
to even grip the cover and turn it
