...thats not what i asked. I asked how to get the assembly OUT of the car, not take it apart. I figured it out, you have to take the whole front bumper off.

easy Andy my man. Follow this to get the bumper off:

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-exterior-modifications-jdm-styling/16265-how-bumper-removal-license-plate-relocator.html

Then, here are the headlight screws. First find the two silver 10mm bolts in the engine bay:

Here's one silver screw:



Here is the other one:



Then, here is one black 10mm screw. It's directly underneath the turn signal:




And here is the last one on the side of the headlight. (already removed in my pic). It's also a 10mm screw:




The drivers side headlight has this plastic heat shield cover that u have to remove before taking off the bolts. They are just pins, use pliers and pull them up to remove the clip. They are reusable so don't break them.

Once u got those off, the headlight will come off very easy. Pull it forward just a little and unclip all the bulb harnesses to remove the headlight. (sorry no pix of this but it's straight forward).
