like yanki said....you gotta remove the front bumper first and then you can remove the headlights....there is a clip under the headlights holding them down and also your side fenders keep them from popping off, it is absically impossible to remove without removing ur front bumper

Keep track of all your bolts and where they go on the car.

Removing bumper is so easy you don't even need instruction. Just go around the bumper edge and remove all clips and screws. I remove bumpers so many times, that I can probably do it with my eyes close.

I took mine off the other day to install my new headlights and it was a PITA...The engine bay and underneath the bumper was easy, but the fender lining and that bolt in there was difficult for me to reach. When you're working on that part be sure to move your wheels so you get more room.
