It's easy... the Tigershark comes with good instructions. However, you don't have to take the headlights out as they say, you can reach the two nuts on the fendeer-to-facia brackets with extensions from below or small hands from above. You'll see when you get to it.

Make sure to bag/tag all your hardware.

Here's my tear-down thread from last year, hope it gives you an idea of what you need to do.
