to change the headlight assembly lift the cover panel in front of engine compartment. there are 3 sections all together the outside secs are for access to headlamps. im guessing that you are replacing the whole light assy. there are 2 10 millimeter bolts on top just behind lamp housing. remove these and housing will be free. to remove the housing you need to release the side marker lamp housing. there is a wire spring clamp in frt inside. pull it forward and in and marker will release. lift headlamps up slightly and then work them around til you can remove them. unplug headlight bulbs and unscrew blinker bulb. to put back in make sure you get the plastic tabs on back of housing in their slots or the housing will bounce around on you. also make sure you clean halogen bulbs with alcohol swabs so there is nothing on them or they might blow. do not touch bulb after cleaning

hope this does the trick for you
