Default replacing GS headlights- help

Does anyone know of a write up here on how to replace the headlights on a Gen2 GS? An online manual...anything. I got them through Sewell on the group buy but man now I find out the dealer wants $350 to install.

Thanks all~

A cl member here (bananags?) has a website that shows you how to remove the headlights....Im not sure of the exact adress but im sure somone here will chime in....350 bucks is wayyyyy to much, took me about 2 hours to replace my own headlights.

Look for the part where he's talking about clearing the front signals.
Takes about 45 mins. Most of the time is turning the screwdriver.

GeorgeGS4 had a good DIY post I found helpful in accessing the headlights:

Hey guys- I really appreciate the suggestions. I really did not want to pay a dealership to do it or body shop for that matter. I also purchased new leather from leatherseats.com. THAT I will pay someone else to do.

Regards~
