Default headlight replacement help

This is my first post, i don't own a sc300 but my friend does. she got into an accident that cracked the driver side headlight and it is not going to pass inspection. I bought a headlight for her off ebay and i am trying to figure out how to replace it. how many bolts? what do you do? i see on the new one that there is only 1 place the screw it in. so do i just unscrew it from the car and pop it out?

1 screw on top, two behind the fender well.. unbolt the fenderwell plastic behind at headlight inthe wheel well, stick a 10mm stock back in there pretty far, youll feel two 10mm nuts going vertical. Take those two off and the headlight will come out.

If you plan to do alot of headlight removals, you do not have to put those 2 back ones in.

My passenger side headlight doesn't have the 2 bolts holding it in due to the intercooler in the way and its impossible to put them on. It doesnt move.

turning your wheels also helps to reach the bolts.
