lozz can give you starter mate.

wheel arch liners will need to be removed. there is 1 bolt right at the end of the bumper that bolts to the wing. both sides.

i did this but forgot to take pics.
2 screws under the grill out,
bolts round under wheel arch lining out.
bolts and torx heads found on the bottom must be removed also,
then when thats done you need to turn the white lug that goes into the wing obviously the headlights will be out.
Should pull out then watch the fog light wires.

on the D9 theres one bolt 10mm iirc in the corner of the wing,
one in the middle of the slam pannel and another one in the lower corner Grille as to come off to get at it,

d8 is a 2 peice head light so they may differ in some way, :roll:
