let me describe as best as i can, because i had major issues in this sector with my 95.

I removed all the screws on top of the headlight area, then i took the bolts from the fender well lining that are on the bumper and i took those off then proceeded with taking off all the required bolts that hold the front bumper on and the grille, was left with headlights and a radiator with a core support in the front. After that its pretty much all cake walk from there. But for me i had to take my core support thing off in order to get the jdm headlights in because these mother ******* were huge, it was crazy...remember to take the headlight housing(black peice around the headlights) off with the headlights as well because the jdm ones basically have some sort of built into it headlight harness thing, atleast mine did...a whole one peice headlight. Pretty much im sure you could take care of the rest. Im not going for sticky guide of the year here, probably one of the worst explanations ever but i thought id help you paint the outside of the picture
