How to take the headlights off?

someone asked me about this to change a broken headlight. He said someone else told him that the front grille has to be removed first, is this true? Or can the headlights be removed in the 100 without dismantling the car?
TIA.

Its real easy with basic tools... in fact, a crowbar would do the trick

Actually...Yes, the grille and turn signals must be removed to get the headlamps out.

On some years, you may even have to remove the front bumper cover.

Any input guys ?
