1937 DeSoto Head light reflector removal

[grubby65]

I need to get into the headlight housing of my 1937 DeSoto and check the wiring at the bulb socket.  Have power to the headlight but not at the socket.  Have the lens removed, but struggling removing the reflector.  Can someone go through the steps for removal?   Nothing in the shop manual.

If they are the same as my 38 Dodge they should just pop out if levered gently. They are held to the interior adjustment ring by the three spring clips that you can see the head of in the edge of the reflector in your photo

I have this arrangement on my '38 Dodge pickup. I use a needle nose pliers to push the two flat parts of one of the spring clips together so they will fit through the small square hole.
