It's a little more complex if you have the headlamp washers. The panel can be eased free as per the video, bringing the washer unit along with it. Check behind the trim panel; the plastic cover snaps off the front of the extending jet housing. Looking from the front of the trim panel, there should be a single screw below the jet. When undone this frees the washer unit which can be pushed into the void under the headlamp to allow easy access to the lower outboard headlamp fastening

I'm not sure whether or not to go for it, I've been reading up on plasticsurgerymadeeasy (.) com

no, all you need to do is to remove the back cover to change the bulbs. Just make sure you put it back on tightly otherwise you will get water entering through it like on mine.

In the video the mechanic releases a strip of plastic from the trim panel with a knife. Why? Is this necessary? Thank you for your help.

good luck on your project. I did something similar: bought DEPO brand, halogen projector headlight assembly. I removed the poorly designed DEPO projector inside and replaced it with E55/Maxima bixenon HID units. much better lighting as a result. let me know how your project worked out.

96-99 does not require bumper drop to remove headlamp assembly. 00-02 does
