Removing the headlights on this car is a bit lengthy but not difficult. Start by opening the hood and removing the seals under which the screws are located that secure the plastic trim covering the entire frame and headlight housing.

Once this is done, you can remove the wheel well liner to gain access from the inside. Now you have access to all the screws that hold the headlight in place, and after removing them, you can proceed to take out the headlight itself.

However, make sure to disconnect the headlight wire connectors and remove the bumper from its attachment to the side of the body first.
