How to install headlights! (with some pictures)
ok i know there is a bunch of installs on this forums but here is another with some pictures...i know many will like this 
well here goes....
Step 1... open hood and take out front grill (makes it easier i think....)
Step 2... remove 2 screws from the side fenders in the wheel well 3/4 way front the bottom should be facing straigt up toward the sky... metal screw not plastic pop off one....ones that is off there is another screw few inches inside fender from that one...take that out too
step 3... remove bumper lights...if u have never done this before its pretty u need a fairly long screw driver...there should be 2 holes on the inside of the bumper get a flash light and shine it in...u should see the screw...just unscrew it and it should come right out...then disconect light....anyway back to bumper removal...
Step 4...inside bumper hole there should be 2 bolts on each side....the ones ont eh right (facing the car) are the hardest to use...i recomend a very large extension....all the bolts inside here are 12mm
(sorry hard to see)
Step 5... remove 4 bolts underneath front bumper...there pretty easy to find....these are 10mm (might be 11 i forget)
Step 6... this should be all u need to remove the bumper....jimmy it a litte and it should come right off
Step7...Removing old headlights...there is 5 bolts for each headlight (not sure with mm might be 10,11, or 12) there is to above and 2 below and one on the side....i recomend removing corners....(if u have never done that before its easy remove the 1 screw about the headlight and then pull lens toward u its kinda tough but just keep pulling)
Step 8...install new headlights...(it the same as removing the old ones hehe just in reverse....make sure they work 100% before going on
Step 9... Put the bumper back on.... not hard again same as taking off but in reverse....hehe
Step 10... put all remainging peices together and then step back and stare
Step 11...wait till its dark...if not already...then find a nice dark wall the aim lights at...adjust accordingly...
also check high beams
Step 12...enjoy your new head lights!!!!!!

Actually you don't even need to remove the bolts on the bottom of the. I do everything you posted except when I take out my front turn signals I get the 4 bolts that hold the bumper support on. Then I drop the entire bumper with it still connected to the black plastic lining under the front bumper.
This way I can get to the 6x 10 mm bolts under the headlight that hold the headlight to the frame.
