Remove the headlights and very carefully take a screwdriver to it. You have to be EXTREMELY careful while doing this because the tabs that hold them on are fairly brittle.

Headlights unbolt using three 10mm(?) nuts. Don't forget to unhook the washer jets by un-crimping the hose that leads to them.
