Sorry to piggy back on the back of the thread, but is there a way to remove the headlights so that I can replace the bulbs easier?  As I am really struggling to replace the bulbs.

Osram nightbreakers all the way!

You have to remove the bumper to remove the lights fully, however you can take out the top screws (there are some under the grille section), this allows a bit of movement. Be sure not to use too much force as you can break the bottom connectors and mark around the screws/washers to ensure that you do not mess up the adjustment.
