Not sure what you mean by "bucket". Yours is a US-spec car, yes?
If it is, then you (should) have the sealed headlamp unit (using a 9004 bulb) which mounts into a black plastic frame, and the frame mounts to the car's chassis. The adjusters live in the frame, and the headlamp unit is held on to the adjusters and the fixed point using black plastic connectors ("Headlight Clamp Sleeve" # 9557158 from EEuroparts). To separate those, you need a prybar to pull them apart. They will, almost certainly, disintegrate when you do this (unless they're fairly new), so have new ones on hand (your new headlight insert may have come with them). You may also need some of the white plastic pieces ("Bearing Clamp Sleeve" # 32000475).
If your headlights have a grey plastic housing that mounts directly to the chassis without a black frame, those are the E-code (H4 bulb) lights from Canada or Europe, and the above does not apply. There are no parts interchangeable between these and the US-spec lights.
