1. open your hood
2. theres 6 plastic fastener, pop it off
3. fenders -3 more of those each side, pop it off
4. theres 2 bolts on each side on the inside on the fender wall, bend it a bit to reach them- they are both 10mm
5. then the bottom on the car of front bumper, all 10mm bolts, theres quite a lot few them, just take it all off
6. before taking it off, you shold tape the side bottom next to the headlights on the fenders because you might scratch it with your front bumper

good luck

Great tutorial! I will be removing the headlights from my G to replace some bulbs and was curious if the headlights will need to be adjusted after reinstalling?

nope, plug and play, just tighten all the bolts, it should aim straight

Everything SHOULD go back in the same position as before but you should check anyway just to verify so you don't blind oncoming drivers, especially if you have the HID bulbs.

How difficult is it to put back on the bumper? It looks like there would be a lot of propping up and stuff like that.

If you go with the method described at first in this thread you do not need to entirely remove the bumper. Just make sure you protect the front fenders from being scratched by the edges of the bumper. If you take it all the way off then it won't be that hard to get it back on. Just have someone hold it in place while you attach enough of the fasteners/bolts to hold it in place. Then finish with the rest of the fasteners and bolts and you're done.

Its easier if you have a helper, just reverse the steps to reinstall.

I've removed and reattached my front bumper quite a few times by myself. I agree with above that it is easier if you have a helper, but if you do not, just hold it in the middle and get it in place, then put the two top clips in place and then work from there.

If it is the one I think you are talking about my buddy and I had to use a pick to pull back the release clip so the harness would unplug, it was a pain. We went in from the back of the light and just kept at it until it finally released. It might take one person pulling a little bit on the harness while another person uses the pick to pull the clip away from it.

get a small mirror, then use a pick or a flat screwdriver, stick the mirror under, it made it much easier, seeing what's under
