is it the entire headlight aseembly? if so then you have to remove the front bumper , its easy start by removing the front fenders drivesrs n passangers then open hood and start removeing snap on's then you should be able to snap off the bumper , once snaped off just remove headlight screws , take off old 1 put new 1 , i did not unplug my battery ,


ADDED: YOU NEED TO REACH THE BACK OF HEADLIGHT hence why i removed mine... but stick your hand in and turn it 1 way and it should be loose then plug the new ballast set

Yep, right in the owners manual, it says to access through the wheel well. I didn't have to do that on the driver's side though.
