For the headlight-
step 1: First you have to remove the corner light. There is a clip that needs to be compressed tightly from the rear of the light, and push the light out.

step 2: remove the lower assembly trim (painted body color) by removing the two phillips head screws. one is where the turn signal used to be, and the other is in the center where your grille would usually cover when you've got the hood open.

step 3: i believe the bolts are 10mm remove the 3 bolts holding the headlight in. one going sideways into the headlight assembly where where your turn signal was, one where the grill would be also going sideways, one on the top that goes through the radiator support.

install new headlights in reverse order.


for the taillight,
you peel back the carpeted trim, and then youll see theres a clip that you twist and itll release the taillight. real simple
