Removing Head light covers

i need help big time.... i been trying to uninstall my right head light cover because its broken but i dont know how to take it off. there was two screws on top which i took off and one on the lower left side of it. its slightly loose but doesnt come off. im not sure if there is a another screw on the bottom where its being blocked by the bummper or not? i tried to take the bummper off but i think there should be a easier way to take out the headlight cover without having to remove the bummper... let me know if you guys know a better way..

You HAVE to take off the bumper. Look in the DIY section for blacking out headlights, there's a step by step of how to take off the bumper, and remove the headlight. You can also SEARCH on here, lots of people have written descriptions

you dont have to take off your front bumper you can reach through the bottom of the fender liner and uncrew the bolts.. its only possible if you take out the blinkers so you can see tho...

its possible i watched CLMAN02 do it.. i even took a picture to prove it but i cant find it

i can't remember exactly what i did but take the two off top, and one you can reach in through the fender liner...then i think i stuck my hand through the signal light holes and cut the two plastic brackets inside of the bumber... you should be able to pull it out after that. Three bolts held the light in tight enough for me and saved a lot of time

if you cut the brackets, then the 2 top screws are the only things holding the light in?

Fuck that would be great if you didn't have to CUT the bracket. The brackets are there for a reason... If you cut them, it is at your own risk.

well i took the blinkers off one more time, reached to the top where i might find the brakets but there is a single bolt that's keeping it hooked and there is noooo way that i can take it off or onscrew it unless i take the bumper off. i've taken the two bottom bolts off but the two top bolts that are keeping the bumper in place, I CANT REACH. i just got frustrated and left it alone AGAIN. i think i should take it to the damn shop and have them take it off..
