Calm down... what exactly are you trying to replace your headlights or your corners?

If you have an 88-89 then you need to wedge a screwdriver in there and pop them out. Careful not to crack them though.

There are 4 10mm bolts per headlights. Two on top that are way easy to see. One down on the outside that if you take your corner lense off is very easy to see. and One that is a bit more difficult. If you take your front bumper off, it's very easy to get to. GL.

if you take yer bumper blinker lights off you can take yer WHOLE bumper off with 4 bolts (the best thing ive learned in the past month)
then you can get that bolt thats under them easily.

yep, just take off your bumper cover and there is one that will be to your left connected to the fender and one more to your right that you will need to get a 10mm socket and a long extension to get to

ok, thanks guys i just got them in. i might post pics later to show yall(but youve probably seena blue million). My .2cent is that its ridiculous to have to take the front bumper off to put in a headlight. Im kinda leaning to never buying another import car. maybe my feelings will change.
