Installing projector headlights on E420...Does bumper cover need to come off?

I ordered a set of projector headlights from Performance Products this week for my 97 E420, and was wondering if I will need to remove the front bumper cover to remove the old headlight assemblies...I would like any helpful hints from people who have done this upgrade.
I just received Eibach lowering springs from Tire Rack today, getting them installed by Kelly Moss Motorsports this week along with a custom camber / caster arrangement. For you Porsche guys, you have heard of Kelly Moss! They do some of the top Carrera Cup and Porsche Club Racing setups in the nation, and an amazing place to visit, you can spot crazy custom 360 Modenas, F355s, 996 Twin Turbos, 600 HP Boxsters and even E420s...

No .... You just will have to remove those plastic's by the headlight and I think (I don't remember good) you will have to drill a large hole to fit the headlight washer.... It's easy job takes about 2-3 hours if you installing xenon bulbs with the computers .... Good luck !
