There are some bolts on top of the headlights and then you must remove the bumper cover to access the lower bolts. The cover is held on by screws in the fenderwells and behind driving lights. Then there are plugs that you need to pull on to get cover off. They are genrally reuseable.

you can buff it with fine sandpaper (1000/1500) and rub it with rubbing and polishing compound OR just sand 1500 and spray with clear paint MADE for PLASTIC.
