If you dont have your owners manual, go here to dl it:

Looking at Alldata, It doesnt show pulling the headlamp to change it. It twists out from the backside.

According to Alldata and Mitchell, removing the headlamp assy requires R&I of the bumper cover, the two lower bolts are behind it... sooo how bad is that condensation?
