Thanks Evan. As noted, I restored my headlights out of the car. Personally I think it is a PIA on the bench. Once I had my headlights back in the car, I rebuffed them several times and I think it was much easier. They are secured and won't move on you as they do on the bench. Just tape up the paint really well.

Removing the headlights are a pain the first time. It is much easier if you remove the grille, and the one bolt on each side of it that holds the upper front bumper to the core support. That way, you can gently pull out on the bumper cover to give you plenty clearance for the headlights to tilt back and swivel out of their opening. Even doing this, I would tape off any painted areas with 2 layers of masking tape for added protection.

Also with the grille out, you can remove the bottom inboard bolts really easy. The outboard bottom bolt can be seen through the side marker hole, but accessed through the fog light door in the wheel housing.
