General Maintenance & Repairs - removing headlights (to polish)

Going to polish up the headlights this afternoon, and get them new looking.

Can they be removed easily without screwing up the alignment? or should I just polish them on the car?

Really easy. Just unbolt the top metal bracket that goes between the radiator support and the top if the headlight bracket. Then, slide the headlight towards the middle of the car and the two tabs will clear the holes in the bracket and the headlight comes right out with the bracket attached that includes the adjusters. No worry about messing up the alignment.
