open hood, take out the grill, take out spacers under head lights, take out corner lamps, then remove head lights. Lots of bolts and screws. Expect cuts.

I couldn't find much in the FSM that was of direct help, but look at Body & Trim pages 14 and 15.

Random q, to change the side marker bulbs do you have to remove the headlights?

No. Remove the top screw and pull the combination housing forward and it will pop out.

No grill removal involved? Amen. I guess I will order some stealth bulbs then. I really want switchbacks though.

Nope. I just replaced the passenger sidemarker bulb about a week ago, just unscrew and pull, hard. It felt like I was going to break something.
