You just need to "drop" the front bumper forward, not completely remove it

After you remove all the bolts holding the headlight in place, the harness plug is attached to the back of the headlight, you can take a long flat head screwdriver and place it on the backside of the plug, twist and it will slide off. This makes it a whole lot easier to unplug the headlight from the harness.

Good luck

^No! haha

I still haven't even done mine yet and to be honest, I think I'm not going to anymore..I'm just going to redo another set of lights I have and do the clear turn signal again and call it a day. I'm trying to finish this car once and for all!

You know those black clips that are in the fenderwall, those black push clips, I can't seem to find it, I don't think I have it. I'm having a hard time pulling the fenderwall back to disconnect the side marker harness as described in the instruction

You just need to disconnect the side marker harness, from the side marker. Pull the sidemarker out, disconnect it, done.
