Iain,
![]() Maybe a pic or two of the recalcitrant headlight ring might jog memories and solicit some advice.

Hi Iain, As far as I know the screw comes out of the bottom, the bottom pulls away and the top comes slightly up and off. I am sure you are right; the ring is glued with paint. Your lighting problem sounds suspiciously like a ground issue.
Welcome to Packard Info! Jim

You may need to gently go around the ring with a razor blade to free it the paint from from it. I would not try to just pull it away until you do this at the risk of pulling loose a large section of paint.
