Well....I finally installed them ....took a little over an hour to do. removed a few bolts and slide them out from the front. I didn't have to remove the 5 clips near the front bumper.

Just put mine in using those instructions...great write up. The only problem I really had was I could NOT get the headlights back in so I cut away some of the headlight aimer because that bolt kept getting caught. After that they went in first shot. Hope that helps a little. Also I have a big gap on the passenger side between the headlight and the bumper but not on the driver's side....

Here's how I do them, the blue tape shows the area I'm talking about.

1. Remove the five black plastic pins in picture C1, this will allow you to pull the fascia forward ( helps with the removal of the head light assembly ).

2. I used duct tape to protect the fender and fascia from getting scratched, picture C2 shows the headlight already out but you can get the idea of the masking.

3. Remove the 10mm bolt from the rear of the headlight assembly, picture C3, this is the only bolt you need to remove the headlight. You can now remove the headlight bulbs ( do not touch the bulbs with your fingers ), I just twist them out but if you want you can unplug the harness from the bulb assembly then remove the headlight assembly.

4. Picture C4 shows the two tabs on the rear of the headlight, you slide the headlight assembly towards the center of the car when removing. When you re-install the headlight assembly make sure the tabs slide together the same way as when you removed it.

5. Picture C5 already had the headlight assembly out but you get the idea about pulling the fasica out to help with the headlight removal, if you can have a friend pull the fascia out while you remove the headlight that would be great.

6. Picture C6 shows the three 7mm ( I think ) screws that hold the corner lense in place, twist out the bulb sockets and remove the three screws and lift the amber lense out. Sometimes you will have wiggle it out but it will come out. When re-installing the bulb sockets make sure the foam gasket is still on the bulb socket.

Now just re-install everything and you should be good to go, good luck.

You don't have to pull the front bumper at all. Just pull both headlights out and there you go. With both lights out you have a clear shot. Takes like 10 min tops.
