You need to remove the grill & corner lamps to remove the
headlights. Then you'll see how it comes off.
Should be 2 bolts on the sides, & 1 or 2 next to the grille.

Ok I removed the grill, and the top bolt on the corner light, I removed the 2 bolts next to the grill but the bolts on the side are impossible to take off because there isn't a screw there to unscrew its attach by a clip sort of piece. Note that the orginal head lamps are on the car.

How can I possible get this thing off without breaking them?
