Default headlight install

im about to install some type R headlights, i just need to know if this is an easy plug and play install, any specific tools that i will need? what can i do to prevent the headlights from being installed crooked? also this isnt my car, this is my gfs car, so ive never worked on a car like this (not like the project is anything complex)

TIA

Headlight installs on Hondas or Acuras usually require a 10mm socket to remove the headlights once the bumper cover is removed. Nothing major...should be pretty easy if you like taking cars apart. I give you props for helping your friend out. Not everyone was born to use tools. HAHA Good luck .
