The front bumper must be removed to remove the headlights.

It will be much more difficult to remove the entire headlight assembly , esp if you are working from your wheelchair . You might need to hire a mobile mechanic . I've had good luck with the Yourmechanic.com service , they can come out and help you . I've used them in SF
