headlight/bumber swap?

Is it easy to swap a 02-03 headlight and bumper onto a 2000 tl?

I will do this for you once. Please use search please.
Such a common thread/problem.

There are two Phillip screws on the inside of the wheel well. Unscrew those first. Then there are two 10 mm bolts (one on each side) underneath the right side and left side of the bumper. They are used to hold the panels underneath the bumper in place. Then remove all the push pin tabs under neath the bumper.

Next open your hood and remove all the push tabs ( should be about 8-10 of em) holding the grill cover down. After you remove the cover remove the two push tabs holding the grill on to the body. Then youre ready to pull off the bumper. Start carefully on each side. Start by popping out each side by the wheel well. After that it should just begin to come off but pull slowly. Then you have to disconnect your fog lights to allow the bumper to come off. Then place the bumper aside.

Next there are 5 10mm bolts holding the housing in place. You'll see the two silver 10mm bolts directly on top of the housing when it bolts to the chassis. Remove those. Then under the turn signal area there will be one gold 10mm bolt. remove that. Then the last two gold 10mm bolt are located under the housing by the ballast. I recommend using an extension with socket to remove these. After the housing should be loose, disconnect the high beams turn signal and parking light and boom. Its out.
