my headlights on my 6th gen just bolt on, so your 5th gen is probably the same and the bulbs should match up unless you did some kinda conversion

Easiest way is taking off the bumper. Should be 5-7 screws on the top, and 2-4 underneath the car. Once that is off everything else is self explanitory. Should be 3-4 bolts holding the headlights to the chassis.

on 5th gen you actually have to take the front bumper off cause there's a beam just in front of the headlight that holds it in there. You can't take the beams off unless you remove the front bumper cause they're bolted to the front support beam.

It's those 2, one just under the corner, 2 on top and one on the inner side of the headlight. There's a cutout for it and you don't have to remove it all the way, just loosen it.

All the bolts are 10mm.
