Does anyone have an in-depth tut on how to remove the front bumper of a 2G TL cause I wanna do an amber diffuser swap.

 

see the diy section for Low Beam replacement,,or the other thread- headlight sealing
they have the how to remove nose details

pop the plastic pins top and bottem
there is a hidden screw at the edge/end where it attches to the fender/body panel above--look in front section of wheel for that, turn wheels for access and removal

mark where the center bar you uncover is located- to make alignment of parts easier going together
tape the piece of foam to the metal bracket on car,, or it will be set on the ground and forgotten until bumper cover back on--ooops, = start over~

 

here is the master diy list https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-1999-2003-98/new-official-2nd-gen-tl-diy-thread-706083/

If you had moisture inside the lens issues or bizzare headlight behavior like requires several flicks of switch to come on - or goes off while driving- have to flip switch to get back on =
you need a new HID kit- the ballast and controllers are shot from moisture pentration

see www.hidextra.com for examples

note: for those who lose both the low beams on a dark road = pull headlight switch lever to go to HIGH BEAMS
not something I thought of during those several exciting seconds on the freeway in total darkness

 

Thanks man

 

There's no more terrifying sound than the bumper sounding like it's going to crack in half as you remove it for the first time. Haha.

 

I be sure to listen for it :P Im going to do it today, so wish me luck that I dont F*ck it up!

 

I got the front bumper off But now Im stuck, When I got to the headlights I found 3 screws - bolts whatever, two on top, and one off two the side, the headlight wont budge... Do I need to remove these as well? https://acurazine.com/forums/album.p...ictureid=48071

 

If i remember correctly yes.

 

Is it really this complicated to remove the headlight cover?!?!

Haha all I wanna do is take out the amber diffuser...

 

Okay so what bulbs do I need to get for the turn signals, I want the ones that are chrome but glow amber. And also is there a replacement plastic diffuser that is clear/chrome and not orange? Cause if you just pop out the diffuser theres these two little holes that would bug the shit out of me.
