gutting the air box is easy, just pull it out and dremel out the wall in the middle of the box. Clearing the head lights is easy to. Removing the head light is dangerous. Remove both bolts, keep bulbs in the assembly, pull hard but brace yourself and be ready for the light to let go. There is a stupid connector in the front wheel well that holds the light in. (because 2 bolts weren't enough).
Remove the clips that hold the clear part to the rest of the housing. If the black silicone is still soft, slowly and very carefully pry the clear part away. Then remove the orange reflector. Oh and buy the purpley blue silverstar bulbs that glow amber. Because if you put standard amber bulbs in. It will look like you didn't remove the reflector.

I'm from Chicago, and you'll have no major trouble with the Bonnie here. The city does a great job of keeping the roads clear and even if you stray into the occasional snowy side street, you'll be fine.
