Removing the headlights/ DIY projects.

Ok so since my modding fund it extremely low with the new engine and all. I have decided to do some cosmetic stuff my self. I have painted my rear emblems and just need to put them back on. I want to remove my front head lights and paint the inside, remove the door handles and paint the chrome, and remove the rear chrome piece and paint it black. Its the piece between the two sections of the trunk. I have the trunk liner out and cant seem to see where to remove the piece?? Also has anyone removed their head lights? If so do you have to remove the bumper? Also since my lights will be open and off what type of bulbs should I replace them with? Thank you in advance for all the help
