Changing the actual headlights or just the bulbs?
Do you have to take out the whole headlight to change the bulb?

There are Its a tricky deal. I have found removing the front bumper is the easiest way.

Remove bolts from the bumper to fender.

Remove the bolts from the lower plastic panel.

Remove 3 bolts from the grill to the front bumper.

The tricky part is behind the inner fender well there are 2 nuts that hold the headlights in. They are 10mm nuts.

Then remove the 2 bolts that hold the headlight to the radiator support. They are the easiest they sit right on top.

Finally pull the headlight out. It will be a little hard so you will have to put a little elbow grease behind it. There are small black plastic pieces that are connected to a small bar on the bottom of the headlight. They are also clipped into the headlight base so once you start to pull it will come out.

On my car once i pulled the headlight out a little because of how tight the headlight is i would have to remove each bulb out of its sockets because the wiring harness doesnt have much room for movement.
