Both of these DIYs have instructions on how to remove the bumper and work on your headlights:

Those don't help me becuase I need to know where the 4 bolts are. I thought they were accessible by NOT having to remove the bumper. And in the DIY you will see that htere is NO picture for the headlight 4 bolts.

Eric

Umm I am in Edmonton, Canada. Long distance charges.......sorry man but I appreciate the help. So basically I have to remove the bumper whether I like it or not? Then it will be pretty simple after that? I am mechanically inclined. I just thought, according to the DIY, that I could skip the bumper step and remove the headlights themselves.

to me it seems like no one has read my thread properly. I SEARCHED through the SEARCH button and found nothing, if I found something I wouldn't have posted this. I used the key words "headlight removal" tell you what, you do it and you will realize the same thing I did. There is nothing there.

you must remove the bumper cover and the bolts are right in front of you once its off. The first two on on the top one near the grill and the other near the fender. The other ones are underneath the headlight itself near the frame. Its easy

use the DIY on how to take off the bumper, look for the four bolts and take it out...you CANT take out the headlights without taking off the bumper.

After removing the headlights and reinstalling them, does it need to be re-aimed?

I don't think you can aim stock lights. And yeah, sorry bro. Can't remove the lights without ditchin the front bumper. Also if you have not yet done it yet, I'd recommend getting a ratchet with two extensions. The bolt directly under the headlight is a bitch to get to unless you have a decent extension. In order the bolts are located two on top, easily visible with the bumper still on, one directly under the headlight, and one on the outside portion of the railing holding the headlight in place. You cannot see the last two without taking off the bumper first.

and you dont need to re-align them, also you can re-align the stock lights.
