You do not need to remove the headlights, but you will need to disconnect them. The hard part is removing the nuts that conenct the bumper cover to the fenders, especially if they are rusty.

Everything should unbolt and the headlights can stay in. Most of the nuts are along the perimeter but there are one by the headlamps by the battery and air filter area.
