turn signal bulbs, you just remove inner plastic fender piece, and out comes the old signal bulb and in goes the new one. so no bumper removing there.

yeah but if i do that can i still remove the whole headlight unit????

removing headlight assembly = remove bumper

removing any bulbs from the headlight = bumper stays on.

if u can remove ur headlight assembly without removing the bumper u can probably take off ur underwear without taking off ur pants...

good luck trying...when i did my light i had to take the bumper off...

and if u check ur manual theres instructions on how to change ur turn signal bulbs without taking off the bumper

impossible not to take the bumper off if you're going to remove the headlight assembly, there are two bolts that attach to the mounting bracket that attach the headlight to the car. you cannot, absolutely cannot get to these bolts without taking off the bumper. bumper removal is simple. post your concerns and we will walk you through it...lots of experience on this board on this diy.

It may be possible that you dont have to take the entire bumber right off the car...

Check out this Thread

Looks like you just have to tilt it forward, or something.

Yeah, you don't have to physically remove the bumper. You can leave the pegs on the buttom in. You have to take the top part of the bumper off. Once you can get access to the nuts for the headlights, it is good enough. I had my bumper hanging when I did mine.

only did it once and took about 2 hours. a half hour for the silicone to dry. the first light was a pain but after doing it, it made the second one so much easier cause you sorta know how to do it and what pressure you can use to separate the light pieces

ive cleared about 5 sets and the first time took about 2hrs, the next few times 1.5 hrs. but do a through job, i usually like to let the silcone dry indoors over night...thats to be on the extra safe side. i havent had a problem with an fogging because i have been so careful. just take your time and do it right once, cause fixing it is a pain.
