Yep Shouldnt be too hard, take off bumper, unscrew bolts holding headlight, install new headlight and install bumper. The hard part is actually aiming the headlights lol

yeah, my biggest concern is missing a screw or clip on the bumper and breaking it somehow.

Well on mine (99 civic si) There is about % screws on top of the bumper inside the hood, one under each wheel well, Two bolts on the bottom of the car, and two crews on the bottom also. Just take your time and dont be too rough when you pull.
