It's a little bit too far for me, but here's a link that shows exactly how to do it.

It's what I used the first time I did a set. Just make sure you stop before the step where you put the headlights in an oven. That's for something else.

i might be able to help, id rather you come here though!

im not quite sure why you need help though? just pull the front bumper off with basic hand tools...and unbolt the headlight, unplug it, and install in reverse.

that write up there should help you with any hang up you need.

I don't know what you people are talkin about it takes thirty minutes tops. Leave the grill connected to the bumper just take the clips off up top and the ones for the bumper off then the two right of the clear corners then pull the bumper forward and down. There four 10 mm bolts holding the lights on. one up top two below one on the fender. Take light off unclip it transfer ballasts. plug new ones in. reverse process. Very very easy!! 30 mins tops

If you can get someone to help you that's done it before, no harm in that. Not many people had done it when I did mine, so I did it myself.

I took my bumper off by myself too. It's a little flimsy and you have to be careful, but you can do it. Just unbolt everything and stand in the center and grab both sides. Put some blue painters tape where the front end bolts to the fenders so you don't scratch them. Jason offered to help you, so that would be cool. He's a good guy... just don't let him drive your car if it's raining...
