I need some pointers on replacing the right (passenger) headlight and header panel on a '98 Malibu. The headlight assy is easy enough to remove/replace (thanks gapboi210, on another post) but the header panel (mounting bracket) for the headlight assy looks a little involved. If anyone could walk me thru the procedure, I'd appreciate it.

Well, I got 'er done! Not as difficult as I had imagined. Took off only 4 bolts on top, 2 screws from underneath and 10 plastic plugs. Both headlights had to be removed as the header panel goes all the way across the front (one piece). After $200 and 2 hours, I had it all back together; good as new. I could've found a cheaper repacement headlight ($120), which would've made the total lower. The header panel was $70.
