Not a pain specifically, but you do have to remove the headlight unit!
3 bolts - 2 on the top & one accessible by removing the front grill. Pop a couple of the plastic fasteners out to give the bumper a little bit of flex.The headlight unit is clipped in to the wing, but a good tug will release it. There are a number of tutorials on the internet & a previous thread here:

But a quick Google search should give you all the info you need

Right. Finally got round to doing this. First thing one of the top bolts just sheared off. Not been touched in 14 years! Got the grill off and found the 3rd bolt. I cannot budge the light unit out though. Doesn't want to budge. Where should I be applying force? It is passenger side.

Hi Mate
Put force from where the bulb connectors are and push forward.
It's held in large push in clips, once out put some fairy liquid on the clips and it'll go back in far easier then.
Cheers Dave.

Yes that is my worry, why I'm putting it off! One of my plastic grill clips has already broken due to being old and brittle. Are the clips that hold the actual light unit in a lot stronger?
