Its a royal pain in the @$$. Took me and my dad (we're pretty good at this stuff) about 2 hours to replace one headlight. We had all the tools and everything, you spend more time carefully wiggling it out of place and wiggiling it back in place.

You need to take off the bumper cover and then the actual bumper. It's only hard the first time.

There's 2 bolts by each fenderwell. 4 under the car and 5-7 plastic screws by the grill. Slide the whole bumper cover off.

The bumper has 3 bolts on each side and one plastic screw on the bottom passenger side. Then each headlight has 6 bolts.

Good luck!
