Rob01 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Do you need to remove the bumper to take the headlights out ? And if so can you give me the full lowdown, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC_Bob Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Some people say you just removing the out 2 screws on each front arch gives the bumper enough twist to let you get the 3rd headlight bolts. Ive never tried it, and never intend to. The removal of the bumper is simple, but just takes time. Theres 4 bolts infront of the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger9991 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Do you need to remove the bumper to take the headlights out ? And if so can you give me the full lowdown, Cheers Right i took the bumper off! As MC BOB said your supposed to be able to twist it but i didnt think it was possible! To take the bumper off get underneath it to the left and right there are 2 bolts! undo them both, Then the arch screws then pull off! The lights, You will see all the bolts to the lights so it will be simple theres 3 bolts and 1 screw IIRC. its a simple job! bolts for the bumper are 13's.
