Its simple. You take out one bolt, unplug your bulbs, and then slide the whole assembly towards the center of the car and it will pop right out. Might take a little massaging if its your first time.

Taking them out is the easy part. Putting them back in is where the colorful language comes out.

I usually remove the whole L shaped bracket that holds it in place by unscrewing both screws, the one that holds the headlight to the bracket, and the one that holds the bracket to the car. It usually makes it easier to take them out and reinstall them if you screw both adjustement (aiming) screws in such a way that the headlights will aim more upwards. Before you mess with the aiming screws though, I would take some masking tape and tape it around the exposed thread as a marker, when you turn the aiming screws, more thread will be visible. Once you reinstall the headlights, just screw the aiming screws back where the tape ends.

Good luck!

it also helps if you take the 5 push plugs across the top of the nose and lift the nose piece up so the light will slide a bit easier and also you might wanna put some mask the paint with some tape because you will scratch it up trying to reinstall the headlight.

Once you have done it once, it's a breeze. I thought at first it was impossible to get the headlight in there until I figured it out.
