I took mine out the hard way when I thought I was going to be able to replace the front fascia. Before I was told of a shorter way, I thought the headlights had to come out first and then the front fascia. Otherway around.

So the quickest way to get the headlights out is to remove the front bumper fascia as well.

1. Remove the scrivots (screw rivots) that hold the mud shields to the fascia (in the wheel well)

2. Remove bolts that hold bumper to fender. Bolted straight up into the fender.
I think they're 10mm.

3. Remove bolts that hold front bumper fascia and fascia brace to the black metal bracket at the hood latch. I think you should only need to remove the 4-6 that are closest to the fascia. Not the ones at the upper radiator support.

4. The fascia is the painted part you look at on the outside. The bumper is actually located behind it. There's a bracket on each side, black in color. These two brackets slide into the squared frame of the car and are bolted to it by two bolts on each side.
either 14mm or 17mm, 14 I think.

5. Disconnect side markers.

6. Remove front bumper fascia, bumper and bumper brackets as one assmebly. Recomend a helper to prevent paint damage to fascia and fenders.

7. There's a few bolts that hold the headlights in place. Some are reached from the rear of the headlights and some from the top and front. I beleive they're all 10mm as well. You may need to use a combination of extensions and universal joints in order to reach the ones on the back. Air filter removal will probably also need removal.

Halla back if you need some more info.

Thanks man, made it easier, anyone know how to clear up the fog in the headlight. Do i have to sand it down or something, it wont come clean.

Remove the grey covers from the back. The seals keep the moisture in. Headlamp removal not necessary if that's what it's for.
