I replaced mine on a 99 C280 and would imagine it should be the same or similar on yours. The glass headlamp cover is held in place by about 6-7 steel clips that are accesible with the hood open. Make sure when you replace it that you also replace the rubber gasket that lays in the 'gutter' where the lip of the glass cover will sit. I bought mine online for about $80-90. Since the one I was relacing was already broken, installing the new one took less than 30 minutes.

If you are referring to the Chevy Venture, it is relatively easy. Just remove the 3 wing-nuts that hold the assembly secure, and then pull the headlamp assembly out. I have a link that shows how to do this, with actual pictures.
