3rd gen headlight removal question

Im going to be installing a new light setup and wanted to know if it's possible to remove the headlights without removing the grill. I have a front guard and it'd be a pia to take that off to get to the grill. Thanks

and BE CAREFUL when removing the grill cause the plastic clips like to snap if forced. Take your time with a small little flathead and it should go smoothly!

yup, look at the very bottom, push on the clips n pull em out gently and then do the top. should slip right off. unscrew the plate things below the healights n pull em out. take out the screw on top of the corners, pop em off, and u have access to all 4 bolts holdin the headlight on
