These are easy to remove.

1. Jack up the front end of the car.
2. Remove the 2-10 mm bolts for the DRL access door.
3. Remove the DRL socket from the bottom of the housing.
4. Remove the 2-7 mm screws that secures the housing to the bumper.
5. Remove the housing.

Be carefull when tightening the screws down. These are weak screws and can break off in the housing.
