Easy headlight replacement?

Well, the title says it all. I just bought new headlights for the truck and I'm looking for the easiest way to replace the old ones, other that removing the markers and fooling with the clips. Any suggestions would be great, thanks folks.

You can get to the two top clips, but the one on the bottom I don't you can get to without removing the turn/marker light assembly.

You have to remove the trim / other lamp housings to replace and adjust the new head lamp housings after installation. Pull the batteries and have at it. Allot easier.

Action, that is so true. Thanks guys for the input, it did help the process out. The trick is to find someone with more patience than you to help out. Well at least I got my old grille guard off, looks much better now.
