just wondering if there are any methods of removing the headlight without removing the bumper, inner bumper, etc etc. seems like theres gotta be a way

 

Inner bumper?

there is no way to remove the headlights without removing the bumper, as there are 3 bolts that need to be accessed under each headlight, including on the side of the car underneath the corner lamps.

I'm able to remove/reinstall the bumper in under 10 minutes now by myself...I just use a couple of stacked boxes underneath the bumper to help me re-align/hold it up it when installing.

 

yea; there's no way without taking off the bumper. i actually did that over the weekend;

 

we had 1 member claim he could do it without removing the bumper, but he was never able to explain how. I found no way to do it without removing the bumper

 

I think I remember him explaining he went through the turn signal. But it's a real small fit.

I do the exact same thing. Just drop the bumper onto a box right in front of the car and it's ready to go and aligned once you're ready to throw it back on.

 

well that's no good, i was hoping i wouldn't need to take it off because i had such trouble aligning it the first time. but i guess i gotta do that lol

when i put it on originally i half assed it (after an accident, just painted and all..) and now it's slowly falling off and pulling all the attachments with it. i'll have to try tomorrow

 

Sounds like the perfect time to do it right and get it aligned, have a friend help you, it's much easier

 

A piece of plastic broke on the right side of my bumper...and its still isn't aligned. =\ I don't get it.

no way with out taking the bumper off I will be doing this today.

 

yea replace all broken pieces while you're under there..relatively cheap spacers and clips at dealer...just saying. do it right;once!

 

But if you want to get it off without destroying things, it's usually best to remove the bumper.
