I understand this is not that hard, but I would like to know the easiest way...
Do I lay on the ground, do it from under the hood, do the headlights first?
Please advise, and save me an unnecessary headache!
Thanks, Brett

I'm a big guy, so heres how you do it if you have tree trunks for arms.
first do the main center light. you can do all of these from the top, your gonna want a 11mm ratcheting wrench though. Then, take that light out, do the outside corner light from your knees, then do the top bolt on the inner light, however you cant reach the lower bolt, you have to stick your arm up through the scoop on the bottom, when you reach threw there, depending on how big your arm is, it will hurt like hell when you reach up to that bolt.
I just did 3 sets today, hehe. Can get them out and back in in about ~15 minutes.

Did you say 11mm?
I thought all that stuff was standard?
I don't have a ratcheting wrench, but I do have 3/8 sockets... will this work?

A ratchet and wrench will work, but will be more time consuming. My lights were somewhat of a bitch to install.. the set screws were stuck in the backing plates, had to reuse a few of them.
It is pretty easy though, just take your time.. may take a couple hours to get them lined up just right etc.

are you talking about the black cylinder on the back of the bulbs? that turns 30 degrees and pops off to let the bulb out...
