I removed (and opened) mine a few weekends back. If memory serves, here are the steps:

-I put the car up on my lift and removed the wheel on the side of the headlamp that required removal.
-I then removed the wheel liner.
-Removed the entire air filter box
-Disconnected the washer fluid hose to the headlamp
-Unscrewed 3 bolts attacheing the headlamp

It was straightforward and did not require a manual to figure out. Good luck!

When I read things like this I miss my Porsche. The headlight removal was literally a 5 minute job.

Well I don't miss it that much, but certain things were very easy to work on.

I agree, The People's Car has always been easy to work on...
