First, for the headlight removal, there is one clip and 2 bolts to remove the headlight, and it takes like 3 minutes per side if you do it right.
Remove this top bolt, and if you use a light and look down towards the bottom through the little hole by the top corner of the light, you'll see the bottom bolt, same color, should stand out.
That bolt does NOT come all the way out, it stays attached on the bottom, so you don't have to worry about losing it. Just wiggle the light out, and you will need to pop the back out with a screwdriver, makes it much easier. Suggest using a rag.
After popping the back, wiggle it, work it, and it will come out. As you can see, my grille is definitely still in there. Magical huh? Total waste of time to remove your grille.
