as far as i know, you would have to remove your bumper to get to the two screws on the bottom of your headlight... pain in the *** if you ask me...

It's more so time consuming, than hard.

The headlights on the G35 seem to come off like the ones on my wife's celica.

I'd recommend a few small cups to hold the screws and plenty of light.

Also, don't try forcing anything. If the light doesn't budge, there's probably another screw!!!

I was contemplating removing my headlights and painting the insides black, but I think I'll do a few other things first.

Four screws and one plug. You have to remove/pull back the inside fender/splash guard. It doesn't look to be too time consuming, and actually really easy.

My '06 lights should be here, hopefully by Friday. As soon as they get here, I'll be doing a writeup with pics.
