pull the headlights out and if i remember there are two 7mm bolts in each light one on the top and one on the bottom. they are kind of a pain but you can wiggle them out.

Headlights come on with 1 bolt... Its eaither 7 or 8mm... When you take out the bolt you slide the headlights towards the center of the car and they will fall out. Then the turn signals are right there and are held nin by 3 small bolts...

headlights take about 30 seconds each to take out. I believe its a 9mm bolt. Then the turn signals are held on by 2 7mm bolts on the side and one on the bottom. To get them out I trimmed the foam around them and pulled them out and put the new ones in. I had about 30 mins into the whole project from start to finish.

I never had to remove the headlights in my Camaro, just a little wiggling got the job done. Of course I bet it would have went a lot faster without the headlights out though...
