head lights & bumper

[J3wman]

SERIOUSLY THIS IS THE WORST PART ABOUT THESE CARS! I HATE TAKING OFF THE HEADLIGHTS!

I cant get these things off. theres always at least 1 bolt i cant reach, to get the head lights off you gotta take off the bumper, to take off the bumper you gotta take off the lights. its a fucking paradox!

Does anyone know a good way to get these off? i lost track of where that DIY was on taking it off

srsly? I can have my whole front end apart in under 10 minutes.

Step 1: Remove 2 screws on each side of the bumper by the wheel.

Step 2: Remove turn signal lenses and unbolt the 2 12mm bolts per side behind the turn signals

Step 3: Using a 12mm wrench, undo the nuts in the engine bay located infront of the battery and infront of the cruise control unit.

Step 4: Pull the sides of the bumper away from the plastic clips and the entire bumper assembly should slide forward and off in 1 piece.

Step 5: Pop out your corner lights and remove them

Step 6: Undo the 2 top bolts, 2 lower bolts that were behind the bumper and 1 bolt on the side by the corner light. The headlight should be free and come forward with the bulbs still plugged in. Pull the assembly forward and remove the headlight plugs. IMO it is easier to do it this way than struggling while the light is still on the car.

Step 7: Repeat process for other side

Step 8: Installation is revrse of removal.
