How to remove lights ?
« on: September 04, 2013, 04:01:40 pm »
Ok so ive seen guide to removing front bumper but what I'm wondering is does it need to come off completely ? As in can you remove screws and drop it down a bit to change head lights ? Any tips to remove refit ? Apart from removing harness plug and three bolts ? How easy to position ? Any help appreciated thanks

Its best to take it off completely. Makes it so much easier to remove and fit them.

To get to the lower of the 3 bolts that hold the headlights in the bumper needs to all but come off and for the 2 minutes it takes it's worth it.  :happy2:

If its a old style front like mine you don't need to remove the bumper but if it's the new style then you will have to remove the bumper
