I was curious do i have to remove the entire front bumper on my coupe in order to remove and install headlights?

Cause I know there are a ton of bolts on the bottom, but my car is too low for me to get to them. I was wondering if I can get by with just only removing the 10mm bolts on the side fender and just letting the front bumer hang so i have access to the main bolts holding the headlights to my car?

 

you do not have to pull the entire bumper, if you had bothered to even look at the sticky at the top of this section, you would have seen pictures of this very process

 

There's a sticky for this at the top of this very section.

 

Honestly it's easier/faster to just remove the bumper. At least for me it is!

You dont have to unbolt and of the bottom bolts, just the 4 for the fenders and the grill/top of the bumper and you can pull it forward!

 

i took the bumper off complete clear of anything to get scratched.

 

well not sure but i had to unbolt a few bolts off the bottom of mine in order to pull out the fender lining, it was a pain. After bolting by bumper back on, i found out that the part where the bumper meets the fender (by the clear corner light) that theres a bit of a gap. On the passenger side that is. I think the plastic piece where the screw bolts into is messedup. Because no matter how much i tighten the bolt, it just keeps turning and turning. I'm so bummed. Not sure what to do to fix it. I'm guessing the only way is to go to the dealer and get a replacement. Not even sure what that plastic piece is called. Its white and the screw goes into it. I'm also not sure of how to remove it out and replace it with the new one. I'm not really good at these things.

Sucks.

 

^i got the same problem as you. the little clip shouldnt cost much to replace. just go to the dealer and show them what you need.
