The Grand Cherokee will have an assembly that is fastened with bolts and screws to the body.
Get the new assembly and compare to the old one to see where to unfasten the bolts and other fasteners to aid in removing quickly.

I know you posted awhile ago, but I hope maybe this could still help you. If you have a 2004 Durango it it second generation and I wouldn't recommend removing the entire assembly. Turn your wheel one way and then inside the wheel well is a plastic door you slide up and then out and you can reach right into the back of the headlight assembly. Turn the wheel and go to the other side. It's a pain, but it's a lot easier.
