How to remove front bumper of First Gen xB?
Hello all I am looking on how to remove the front bumper to install new grill pieces on a 2005 xB.
Does anyone know the correct procedure or have a detailed guide on the best way to do this?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

*Even though the Video is on Removing a tC bumper, it is virtually Identical to Removing the xB bumper.
I Know. I used to own a 06' TCM Box for 9 years before trading it in for my 2015 tC RS9.
Same Procedure. Same Tools. No Difference in Removal.

Agreed - bumper cover removal is pretty similar across all vehicle makes now. They have all been copying each other. Then there is...

Just wondering how the aftermarket headlights that your installed in your xB ended up performing. The reason I ask is that I've tried aftermarket lights in two different vehicles in the recent past and in both cases, the performance / light pattern was absolutely awful. Both sets were returned and replaced with OEM lights - for a whole lot more money.

Sorry for the late reply.
This is my sons xB so I don't know what the light pattern is like. they both needed adjusting right out of the box, which we did on the garage wall. He hasn't complained yet, but he only seems to drive it around town (streetlight zones) where it is more important to be seen, than to see.
This is the list I picked them from
2006 SCION XB 1.5L L4 Headlamp Assembly | RockAuto
They are meant to be OEM replacements, so no fancy bulbs etc.
