The actuator for my headlight assembly is bad. I have the replacement. I need a little walk through on the correct order of steps to replace the old with the new. Please help?!

Unplug the headlight motors. Each assembly is held in place by four bolts, two on the top corners and two underneath the assembly. To get to these, you will need to get under the car. If your car has a bottom mud guard, You will have to take it off to get to the bolts. Remove all the bolts from the assemblys and lift them out of the car. Installing the new parts is the reverse of removal. Good Luck!
