There are two bolts and two nuts on each headlight assembly to take out. The two in the back are kinda hard to get to as there isn't much room. Also you will have to remove your fascia.

If you have replaced the stock airbox with a cone filter, you can access the screws and bolts as follows.

Remove the front centre panel
Remove the filter and mafs and t-tube
-you will now be able to access and remove the inside bolt and nut from each housing (nut is up front, bolt is towards the engine).
If you remove the turn signal housing you will easily be able to access the nut closest to the outside of the car for both lights.
If you remove the 3 screws on the wheel well and bent that back, you should be able to access the last bolt. (these ones are the pigs of them all and a bigger pain to put them back in afterwards).

Good luck and take you're time.
