No you dont need to remove the bumper to get to them. Look in your manual it says it detailed with pics inside of it...Don't people ever read their manuals any more?!?

Well now that all depends on whether you just want to change bulbs, or remove the whole assembly. There is a light clearing and bumper removal DIY in the DIY section.

Do you want to take the bulb out? thats easy.
taking out the whole assembly does require takeing the bumper off. the DIY couldnt give any more explanation. which makes that easy too

To change the bulbs, you don't need to remove the bumper....to remove the headlights themselves, yes, you have to remove the bumper.
Sucks Huh ??

You don't have to remove the whole bumper!! I have removed my headlights several times this is how: first remove a philips screw from each front wheel well. then remove 4 plastic clips above the front upper grill. then carefully pull the bumper forward letting it hang down. be careful not to scratch anything. then look for 4 bolts on each headlight, 2 on top, 1 on side, and 1 on front. the front one you will need a pretty long extension. you should be able to do this in about 10-15 minutes if you are good with tools. I hope this helps, later.

Re: removing headlights

I think you just set the record for the oldest revived thread. A whopping 9 years... or close to it anyways.

Congrats

Now, to make up for it, make your own thread with some pictures!
