I have some tips to add to Dave's advice. Do this job in daylight or a well
lighted shop. Also do it on clean pavement because if you drop a screw (and
if you are like me you will drop several many times) then your chances of
finding it are much better. Your best bet is to put a towel under the front
bumper so that when one of those incredibly tiny screws drop then they won't
bounce away. I'm not a butter-fingers or anything. It is just a long reach
into the fascia to get to those screws.
Unless your fascia already has major eyebrows, then you will need to flex it
out of the way to get the screwdriver to fit between it and the edge of the
headlight. Be sure you use a screwdriver that has a smooth rounded shaft
and not one of those hex shaft ones because the later will scratch paint off
the fascia as you turn it.
Be careful with the black plastic spacers that fit between the headlights.
They are brittle, and I broke one (mainly from stupidity working in the
dark) taking it out.
PJ Grady sells a stainless steel screw kit which in my opinion is worth
getting.
