there are 3 torques on each headlamp...ya the whole headlamp has to come out...where the yellow dots are is where the torques are...youll need an extension too...for the ones by the grill you have to open the hood and pull back the rubber guard thing and youll be able to see them...the other one near the bumper there is actually an indention in the lamp housing, look back and u can see the 3rd torque...after all the torques are out pull straight out, pull hard...the housing wont come easy, trust me...and make sure u pull out and not up or u might snap a self locking rod...on the back just twist the light out and its self explanitory from there...when u put the housing back in make sure the u push it in tight and the self locking rod is in...sorry for the size of the pic

btw its in your manual...lol.....but remember, pull out and not up and pull hard...and make sure u have plenty of light...i did mine in the parking lot at autozone since im at college and dont have torques here...they let me borrow their set, as soon as i bought them they closed and i had to work with a street lamp...it sucked

Nah, skins, I will install them myself! I Installed the Ultra Vision in my wife's Town&Country tonight, huge difference. I couldn't see the other two until you replied back. I didn't know they were behind the rubber boot thingy. I will do them in the morning with plenty of light. Didn't get an owners manual only the scheduled maintenance booklet and the lemon law pamphlet. Hadn't had time to go by the dealer and ask for one. It was quicker with all your replies anyway. Thanks for the help guys!

Note that behind the rubber flap you will see 3 screws. Do not tamper with the one in the middle. That is the up/down alignment adjustment. It is not a mounting screw.
