If you vehicle has the HID (high intensity discharge) lighting option on your TL then the complete front bumper cover assembly has to be removed in order to access the retaining bolts for the headlight assembly!

That's a scary looking job:

Maybe taking out the overflow bottle isn't so bad after all. Check Chilton's Auto Repair manual first. I can't believe you'd have to remove the headlight assembly to get to the bulbs.
