I want to clear out my headlights. And I know you have to take the bumper off to get the headlights off. I'm worried I won't line it up right after I'm done. I've seen the tech article...should I not be scared and just go for it? If you've done it let me know. I'm actually pretty handy with the tools. I just don't want to mess up something I paid 17 thousand for

Thanks in advance

 

You don't have to take it all the way off. Take off all but the bottom ones, and you can lean it forward...

 

Yup... I cleared mine out and the bumper never touched the floor.

You just gotta move it enough to get at those lower headlight bolts.

-THE DON

 

I wish someone told me that when I did it.....


...thumbs down.

 

but be careful the bumper can still fall foward mine did thanks to the wind i had to get it repainted ... its super easy though me and my freind do it all the time one time eight times in one night its hard to not line it up right

 

i was worried about taking the bumper off too. but now that i know you dont have to i may tackle this project this weekend.

 

Also the bumper is held in by a tab under the hl housing...

 

Being a chick and not too familiar with automobiles, I found it an easy process to remove my front bumper when I replaced my factory headlight swith halos and then again when I replaced my factory grill. I was even careful enough to lay down an old blanket to protect it just in case it fell off. All you need is a ratchet wrench and a flathead screwdriver for the plastic tabs. Once you've taken the bolts off, you still have to give it a decent yank to pop it off. I really can't see there being any reason to worry about the bumper looking crooked when putting it back on - it pops into place.

 

UPDATE....
ok i did it. i was nervous. but it does just kinda pop off and pop on. unfortunatly i took off the bottom bolts which diddnt really help at all just took up time. but now i have clear corners. thanks guys and gals for the encourgement.

 

when i took mine off to do this, i felt like i was working on a toy car or something haha.

 

hooray, I get to take off my bumper for the 5th time this week, cause my headlight is still leaking, even after fixing it 4 times.

 

Keep everyone updated..

It should be fine
