Replacing headlights?

Replacing headlights?
Hey guys, I had an accident where I busted out my head lights. I ordered the parts I figured I needed and it seems I need a new header panel. My question is do I need to put the lights on the header panel then mount the header panel? Also does anyone know where I can get the push clips for the headlights? Mine are rusted out bad

I bought some push clips on Amazon

Albeit, if it is already off, etc...sure, it's easier.
But in the case of simply replacing the headlights on an otherwise assembled truck, you do not have to remove the header panel to do so.
OP-Yea, you have get those clips in packs of 3 (Requires 4) at your local parts house.. About $7/pack though..

The simply slide your headlight free....
Installation is simple. Just put the headlight in, get the adjustment rods in the correct place, and snap the clips back in position.

Here's some visual aid I took notes of while replacing the headlights on my dads' 1992 F-150...
After removing the 2-11mm nuts and the 2 screws in that pic, the entire Headlight bezel slides out. Then you can access the lower of the 3 clips.
Loosening the clip up a little.
Adjustment Rod hole #1
Adjustment Rod Hole #2
Adjustment Rod Hole #3
Adjustment Rod (Longest one) goes into that square hole.
