bumper has to come off, I believe there's a DIY. look up headlight DIYs, as well as bumper DIY. I know I used one when swapping my 04 headlights for an 06

you ever change your fog lights? if so it's the same way you feel around for the plug in the upper corner. just remember to wrap some black tape around the led securing it to the harness...

yeah this is fairly easy, just turn the wheel to the opposit side that you are working on, take of the 2 screw, and 4 tabs i beleive, peel the frnder plasic back, and you will be able to see the little harness in the upper corner closest to you. Turn it counter clockwise to take out, and then do it back in reverse

yeah just make sure you have enough light, and a flashlight may help. if you have trouble, some people jack up that side to get more room.
