Is it that difficult to remove the headlights?

Gotta pull off the whole front bumper, so yup.

Awesome...i figured as much.

There is also a bunch of stuff that has to come off before you can remove the front fascia.

It looks like a pain but I am pretty sure that is it really easy to do. Just gotta pop a few clips and undo a few bolts. Time consuming yes hard no.

well do you basically have to take off everything in thr front?

Yes, the whole bumper I think. Check out this link so you can clearly see what is involved. The instructions are for the install of mesh grills but you can clearly see how the front end comes off.

Thx for that link

It takes time but it's all pretty easy. The fan guard next to the hood latch comes off, as do all the fasteners for the belly covers and wheel well liners that engage the bumper skin. I didn't count all of 'em, but there are probably about 30, maybe more! Some of them are those plastic rivets and they're reuseable if you pop them the right way. You have to lift out the center of the head first and then grab the body. When you put it back on take a breather and make sure it's all lined up and snapped back in place, then start attaching!

If you don't have grass (I'm not talkin' weed, here!) to set the cover on you may want to have a blanket laid out to help prevent scratches.

I pulled my bumper cover off yesterday and replaced the bulbs for the high beams, low beams, and fog lights. The entire job took me about 2 hours including a trip to Napa to buy all new plastic plugs. Its not difficult, just takes some time as indicated above.
