I believe there is a Do-It-Yourself tutorial in this section. You'd probably have to do a quick search on it.

lol that sounds like a long trip

the gs headlights are pretty tight spacing iirc? for sure you gotta remove some panels or might have to shift things around to get to the back of headlights so you can take off the protective cap and pop out the bulb?
