    its either upside down, or you have left and right mixed up
    What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

    You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

        you still have the bumper on, the headlight is designed to be removed from the vehicle with the mounting braket after the front bumper is removed.

            If you look a WEE bit harder the bracket is still there, he removed JUST the light. You only have to remove the bumper if you want the bracket to come with it, which obviously he didnt.

            OP that white/yellow piece opens up like a clam shell, if you open it you can see there's a groove inside of it for the ball to sit in. If you open it and it breaks at the hinge, dont trip, it will still work. You have to press the spring down to allow the ball to slip into the right spot, then you slip the other piece on to close it. Then you slide it back into the headlight. If it doesnt fit flush, spin the piece 180 degrees. If you need pics I can probably take some to describe it. I just went thru this when I blackhoused my headlights.

              I appreciated for your help but i finally got that white/yellow piece back in place ( take me an hour to compress the springs by my hand) . I guess it would be easier if i didnt break the little thing that hold the clam shell together.

              Before i registered here , i didnt know that we have to remove the bumper first before we can reach to the headlights so thats why i only removed the lights by itself by removing 4 screws ( two on each side/bottom) . I cant believe its very simple to take the whole bumper out by only 2 nuts and 4 bolts. Anyways, here are a few pics that i took it while im doing it. Again , thanks for all the helps guys.

                  My next project will be the endlinks ( already found the DIY link for this fix) then replaced all the struts around.

                          They look just fine. As for the sway bar bushings, its the only other thing connected to your swaybar to the body of the car.
