It's actually pretty easy and the link for the AE install will be clear for you.
Note that of 2 fasteners at the bottom of the lamp housing - those get loosened NOT removed!! If you unscrew them too far they might drop into the bowels of the front of the car.

Great tips, guys. Thanks for sharing.

What do you need to pull the headlamp assemblies for? Angel eyes? It can be done without removing anything...not even the radiator guard. Its a PITA, but doable. Took about 30 min for both, maybe a little more.

.... I tried to search again and nothing relevant comes up for me. That's strange. Thanks again!
