Default Does the headlight assembly pop out?

I finally got some new headlights to put in and my nissan book is at my dad's house a few hours away so I don't really have any idea how to install the new bulbs. Can someone give a few pointers? thanks

to remove it I know you gotta do some stuff in the wheel well. if you jack up the car, remove the tire, and pull out the wheel well, you might find that is enough to do the task. otherwise your gonna have to remove the headlight assembly which is held in back there anyway.

to remove the headlight you have to remove the front bumper.

My understanding is that to REMOVE the headlight assembly completely (Take the whole lens out of the front of the car) requires the removal or the front bumper and releasing a bunch of clips. I haven't gotten to that stage yet, still waiting for my clear strips. But to change bulbs and such you can do it through the wheel well. I found it easier to jack the car up, remove the wheel and open the wheel well. Other's simply turn the tires out and contort their hands in some bizarre way
