Steps

1. Remove the bumper

   Remove the three push pins inside each wheel well with a trim tool, remove the 10mm bolt at each corner of the bumper, remove the belly pan's push pins and 10mm bolts and take it off, disconnect the side marker and fog light wiring harnesses, remove the four top push pins, then pull the bumper forward and off.

2. Remove the old headlight

   Remove the bracket's 8mm bolts, pull the headlight out, then disconnect its wiring harnesses.

3. Install the new headlight

4. Reinstall the bumper

   Line it up, start the four top push pins, connect the bumper tabs to the fender slots, push in the remaining top push pins, install the 10mm corner bolts, push in the wheel well push pins, reconnect the fog light and side marker harnesses, then lift the belly pan into place and install its 10mm bolts.
