How to take off headlights...
I am having trouble taking off my stock headlights to replace them with aftermarket projectors. Does the entire front bumper really have to be taken off, or is there an easier way? The only bolt I cant seem to get to is the one that holds it on in the inner part (looking at the car, the bolt that is closest to the front emblem). I cant seem to reach it and I was wondering how I can get to it.
Also, while being an ***, I accidently kicked the plastic part off on my headlamp that bolts on the outer edge of the lamp. I think it can be super glued back on, but is that bolt really crucial for support? Will the lamp throttle around if it is not bolted?

Check out the DoItYourself (DIY) section:
Taking out the headlights
this one is for clearing your lights, which will tell you how to take off all the stuff you need to take off to take out the lights. To get those hard to reach bolts you'll need to use a wrench for the tight squeeze.

ah just remove the whole bumper, not that big of a deal, makes it easier when you're working. theres a bunch of plastic clips underneat and bolts. Just remove all of em, pop off the clips connected to the top grill and your good to go. Pull off the bumper then take off the bolts connected to the headlights. very easy job.
