ps2cho covered it pretty much. The corner lens just has a clip you squeeze from inside to pop it out (forward). Look in there and you'll see it. Then you can access the two 8mm bolts on the outer edge of the light (and an 8mm bolt that holds the trim strip at its outer edge under the light). Remove the 8mm bolt on the inside end of the trim strip (near the radiator), then the 8mm bolt (on the pass side) or Phillips head screw (driver's side) that holds the light on the radiator support, and the lights will slide out. (My car had the Phillips screw anyway -- maybe it had been replaced at some point, though, and you'll have bolts on both sides if you're lucky. The screw head was a PITA to get to). To remove the wipers, if you have them, just flip the black trim on the wiper arm down to expose the nut that holds the arm onto the shaft (8mm), remove that nut, pull it apart, and you're done!
ps2cho -- glad to hear your new lights are on their way! I plan to install mine tonight (as soon as I can get to the store for city light bulbs).
