there should be two tabs on each headlight one on left and right you pull these up then disconnect wires they will slide right out

To remove the headlights, its easier than you would expect.

Pop the hood
Now you will see two sliding things that you pull on. Pull up these two latches (two per headlight) until they slide all the way out, they secure the headlights. And they slide right out. Twist out the head light bulbs though to completely remove it.

there are two pull tabs on either end of the light, there black, there's nothing to unbolt, just something to pull on

Is it the same for the 94-98's as the new edges? I've never looked at the headlights of an SN95 but since the lights are different, and the three previous responses were from other new Edge owners, I wonder.

edit this is how its done
look on the backside and first remove the metal clip on the top peg, looks like a fork. Then you will need some needle nose pliers and squueze the lower peg and pull on the headlight slightly. Wiggle and squeeze the peg together and the whole assembly will come out

Removing the headlights is the easiest thing to do on our cars.

take the corner out first, it will make it easier...and be careful not to damage those tabs with the needle nose pliers, you can't replace them. Everything else said above is correct. It took me a few times to get the adjustment right....that was a real pain.
