Default a question, in regards to headlights

I have a '95 eclipse. I purchased some new headlights, pass. and drvr. I want to install them, but am not sure how to go about it.
Any specifics on tools? does the bumper need to come off? Estimated time to fix?
Any help would be...helpful...
Thanks

I have never changed them on my eclipse but i did about one month ago to my honda accord and my bumper had to come off i would say theres about a 95% chance the bumper has to come off other then that probably no special tools they usually just have a harness for the new bulbs that plug into your OEM harness

You have to unbolt it and theirs about 23 bolts, and the majority of the time they will break, so it's easier to have someone else do it unless you have the time.

You act like 23 bolts is alot to undo... I WISH things were that easy on my cars LOL he shouldn't need anything more than a screwdriver to change the headlights and the bumper shouldn't have to come off at all. I'd estimate if you're REALLY slow about it maybe an hour to do. (Depends how manybeers you have WHILE doing it LOL)

Sorry I havent been on in a bit, working a lot. It is the headlight assembly. I just want to know the easiest way to do this, because Ive heard you have to take out a lot of junk just to get to the assembly in. Curious to see if someone has done it before, b/c I only have small windows of time in which I can play with it, and I cant afford to get caught in the middle... let me know wussup

Thanks guys
