Its pretty easy, you just remove the turn signals by unbolting the bolt.
then you remove the lock clips on the back of the headlight mounting posts that you can see on the back of the plastic headerpanel.

after that you gently depress the sides of the plastic prong that lock in the headlight to the panel.

oh, and disconnect the plug for the bulb! [Razz]

you have to get a small 5mm (i think) socket and ratchet and use the 3 little bolts that extend past the plastic headerpanel.
its a small pain, but easy nontheless.
the chitons manual has a method for aiming them, but I just moved the tabs so that they were at almost the same postion as the one I replaced.

what did you put in? a set of cobras?

5.0 resto is good. i think they have the ultra clear and smoked.

to aim, each light has 3 points for adjustment. i use my driveway and garage door to line everything up. you just have to guess to make it as close as possible to the way they were before
