1. remove the grille.
2. remove the corner lamp. (one screw on the top, front corner. pull the front edge sideways and it will pop out of the clips).
3. you'll see two screws on the side of the headlight, and there are two more facing straight back just next to the radiator.

the ones on the outside sides are screws. the ones on the other end (pointing straight back into the engine bay) are nuts. all are 10mm.

not very hard.. should take 15 minutes or so per light, if you take your time (I can do it in 5 if I'm in a hurry)

Thanks a lot. What about the adjusters. How do I back them out?

the headlight and the bracket will come out as one. just unscrew the adjusters until they reach the end and it'll come off.
