Rep Power: 0 you dont need to take off the headlights to switch light buibs... check your manual.
but if you wanted the headlights off, like the otther two said... one underneath.. one on the side, and two on top.

Actually you can remove your headlights without removing the full bumper assembly. Just undo the top 4 clips and the fender bolts. You can get to all the necessary headlight bolts by pulling the bumper off a little bit.

Rep Power: 0 Though NOT recommended if you have a front lip installed... Last time we stretched out some already-stretched holes where the lip screws into the fender liner, and it ripped off... Minor issue, but if you can prevent some minor thing like that, just get on the ground and take off entire bumper...
Yeah Connie, take a chill pill. Not like you were offering instructions on HOW to do it anyways, you just said it could be done. Anyone can always say stuff in a better way, just need to think a bit that's all
Can't we all just get along?

Rep Power: 345 Hey Fuzzbomb is right - be very caregul how much you pull on ur bumper if you got a lip. However, I pulled my bumper last wk to clean my intake filter and thankfully nothing got stretched/ripped.

alright there tough guy... with the name Connie.
i guess i never thought of using your method as i prefer not to take any chances in damaging/sratching my bumper/aftermarket bumper.
wont hurt to take the extra few mins. to take apart the extra clips from the bottom of an oem front bumper.
