Little less frustration taking off the bumper.

A couple days ago I painted my headlights and as anyone else who's had that experience would probably argee with me getting the two bolts out from under the fender well is hard enough without the plasctic pressing against your arm. On top of that my corner lights stopped working and i ended up doing it all again a day later to check my harness's. For the front screw that attatches the bumper to the fender there's not a whole lot you can do but the other one drew my last straw. you know the one thats right there where the back of the corner light goes. So I took a pair of Lexan scissors and cut a little square out letting me not worry about the fender well for that screw on both sides. Just wanted to share...

Just pull the plastic back and use a long extension. I can remove the front bumper in less than 5 minutes...

Had the EXACT same thing happen to me but when i tested everything it was fine. I went out and got two pairs the 168's and 194's. ONE of the 168's worked, so swapped em for 194's and ta_dah!!! =-}
