 I've ALWAYS had to remove the headlight shroud to remove/replace the headlights.
The 2 of #2 crosspoint screws and the 1/4"X 28 threads/inch wing nut on the back--not really that difficult or time consuming.
Concerning the headlight shrouds: the top/uppermost point of the shroud: this needs to be about 1/8" away from the front fender, or I guarantee, the flex in the car will crack the shroud. We always reinforced this upper point with fiberglass on the inside(so it's not visible).
There should be 2 slight indents in the shroud for the left/right and up/down movement of the headlight(at least in the OEM ones--not sure about the aftermarket ones.)
