How do you remove headlights?

Not sure if anyone has done this yet. Im going to do it soon, probably tomorrow, so that I can paint the inside of the lights. I was just curious if anyone has removed them yet and might have some pointers, to save me some time. Ill post a how-to after I get it done.

From what I've seen, you'll need to go in through the fenderwells in front of the front tires. I'm looking at swapping to Hella bulbs soon, and checked it out.

Just to go ahead and clarify, Im not talking about removing the bulbs, but the whole light unit, or bucket. And no, the manual wont tell you how to do it. After a lot of fumbling, I figured out out today, although it is not difficult, it requires removal of the front bumper to access the mounting bracket bolts located under the lights.

You can do it in less than 10 minutes once you know what you're doing.
Wasnt able to get the lense off of the bucket though. Seems they use some type of very strong silicon glue to hold them together, and heat just wasnt working. Might have to try some type of solvent.
