lots of fun LOL you got to remove both battery tray to get to 2 10mm nuts on each side at bottom behind park light and two screws on top of each light door (trim) and there is some locks on each adjustment screw that has to be removed

i bought a whole new header panel grill and headlight set on ebay and you Dont need to remove the battery trays just the batterys, I put my complete setup on in 2 hours, but thats the whole header panel which is the hardest part, Just to do the headlights should be maybe 30min to an hour all depends on how quick you are with a wrench, Its pretty much the 2 10mm bolts and the philips screws that go into the header panel.

Rick is right. Just two screws on top and two nuts on back lower.
The nuts are the hardest to get to because of the limited room. Removing the batteries will make it much easier although I have done one of mine with the battery still in but dropped the nut when reinstalling.
I would recommend removing the batteries.
