Helpful preparation tips:

1. use jack stands to lift the car up to an easier working level,this is not necessary but it is easier.

2. have key near by and have someone ready to turn wheel for you as you may get dirty.

3. the tools you use are very important as well to ease of removal and reinstallation, the thinner your extensions the better! these are the tools we used:

First of all, remove the bumper, you must remove the 3 screws under the bumper, 5 in each wheel well, 2 tens on each side, and then the 3 torx above the grill.

To remove the 3 screws under the bumper use a flat head screwdriver, these should only have to turn about a quarter turn before they come out.

To remove the five screws in each wheel, you have to first take out the two torx, then use a flat head to take out the quarter turn screw, peel back the inner wheel well liner and get the other two torx.

After all screws are out of wheel well, you need to gain access to the two ten mil. nuts holding the bumper in. use a quarter inch ratchet with extensions and ten mil. socket and reach directly behind the washer fluid reservoir, they are easy to spot.

The 3 torx around the grill are very self explanatory, here is a picture. to show where they are.

Now the bumper is ready to come off, from the top corner by the wheel well pull the bumper directly out. make sure everything is out and you can grab ahold of the bumper around the grille and pull directly out HARD! do not yank, but apply solid pressure and bumper should come off easily,if not, something isn’t right. keep a good hold of the bumper so you do not drop it and scratch it, but also be careful not to pull bumper to far away form car before unplugging the two connectors located above the left fog light.

Now, you will have your bumper off totally:

Now you have super easy access to the headlights, remove the two screws on the top of the headlight, an then put the extensions on the quarter inch ratchet and reach down the hole, find where the screw is located and with your finger guide the torx bit into the screw head. after the screw is loose(but not removed) finagle the headlight out to the point you can disconnect the plugs. So you have the headlights out.

After the lights have been cleared and put back together, reinstall everything the exact way it came out.

Some hints on re-installation:

-make sure fog lights are plugged in

-make sure everything fits and you saved all the nuts and bolts.

-make sure everything is right and tight.

-double check everything

-once everything is back together, loosen headlight screws and realign headlights to line up with bumper.

Finished Product:

You are done! Congratulation!
