I hate to ask this, but how is the headlight rim removed on a 1956 Golden Flash ? I need to change a light bulb, but I can see no way of removing it.

Your pics are too big to see the centre of the light, but most have a screw on the top you slack off and it releases a clip allowing the rim to come forward, and it then unclips from the bottom. Thats how my a rim comes off. assuming this one will be the same.
Here's the image re-scaled so people can see what's going on. As said, I would have thought the rim should have a screw for the retaining clamp in the top of the rim but I can't see one here - not sure what the pin looking object is where the screw should be?
Hi,
A bit obvious but have you tried rotating the headlight down a bit as the screw could well be obscured by the cowl?

Slacken the two bolts holding the headlamp then tilt forward you will see the screw on the top of the headlamp. This screw goes into a L shaped clip that pull up and holds the rim on.

The pin looking object is just a reflection of something on the ceiling.
