headlight panel removal

The headlight assembly is extremely easy to remove. Pop the hood and look down at the back of the assembly and you'll see 2 slide pins that secure it in place. Pull the pins up and out and you can then pull out on the headlight housing.
When you get it far enough out you'll have access to the bulb connections of which there are 2.

When I bought my car back in 2005, the header panel was cracked on both sides. I replaced it in about an hour. It's an easy job.

For me, it was obvious as I could see the cracks in the header panel. Generally speaking, though, if the headlamps are loose and/or move around when installed in the vehicle, the header panel is probably cracked and needs to be replaced.
for me i could see it cracked in half behind the grille and the bumper was hanging about an 1 1/2 inch under the headlights very simple job to fix
