Open the hood, remove the (2) T15 screws in the rear covers.
Turn on the lights and then disconnect the power cords.
Put some masking tape around the edge of the lights to prvenet scratches.
Remove the close-out panels under the front bumper (7mm).
(3) 10mm bolts behind on triangle shaped bracket and (3) 13MM bolts on frame.
Passenger side disconnect two plugs on the headlight control module before removing.
