   If right handed go for left headlight, if lefty by the right headlight. If I remember well, you will need a phillips screwdriver, 5/16" hexwrench or nut driver and a 7/16" hexwrench or socket. 1.- Take off the headlight trim (4 screws). 2.- Remove the headlights base assembly without disturbing the lamps. 3.- Take off the screws that hold the inner shell to the body with the 5/16" nut driver or wrench (6-8 screws).- 4.- Push in (or softly hammer with a rubber mallet or piece of wood) the shell inside the trunk.- 5.- If you don't know what is inside the trunk, use a flashlight to see if there is something that could harm your hand or arm. 6.- With the 7/16" wrench or socket locate the 3 bolts that hold the locking mecanism to the body and take them off. A good hint is to use a ribbon between your wrist and the wrench, just in case it flips off your hand. Now you are done !!
   Good luck !
