take the bumper completely off, one screw in each of the wheel wells, not all of them, then all the plastic pieces under the front bumper, there are two screws under there as well, after you have 4 screws and a handful of those plastic things, oh yeah some on the radiator cover as well, put all that down in a place where you wont lose it, then go to the side of the car, put your hand on the underside of the bumper but in the wheel well and yank hard, there are 4 or 5 clips that will "break" lose and the bumper will come completely off

after that remove all FOUR of the bolts holding the light on

Just unbolt the bracket with the headlight attached to them. Its much easier to pull the whole bracket out from underneath. Get the 2 on top and then 2 holding the bracket. When you put oit back together, bolt the bracket to the light then pop them in the car.
There's 4 bolts holding the headlight on, one is a pain to get to while its in the car.

they are simple cars. You just need to learn how to follow some easy steps. You might want a pair of extra hands (a friend) to help you out with the bumper removal.

First step, remove clips and screws that hold on the bumper (red)

Pry bumper forward

Second step, remove bolts that hold on headlight assembly (green)

Unplug bulbs

remove headlight and clear it

Reverse to reassemble, took me about 2 hours total time including going to the store and baking my sedan headlights.

I didn't take this picture but it was sent to me when I did my lights. Hopefully this helps.

and yes, as the picture shows, you CAN be lazy like me and not pull the bumper off, just pry it forward. I did it this way also because I didn't have any helping hands.
