Ermmm you don't have to take the bumper to replace the bulbs.. The bulbs are changed from inside the engine bay.


The Low Beams are D2R and require a Security HEX to remove the cover.
The High beams are 9005 and can be easily removed.

Your headlight could be damaged or the seal is broken. You could repair if you wanted to try it yourself. You just need to reseal the light if it's the seal.

Welcome Jim c !!!
Moisture in our headlamps is a rather common issue. The affected headlamp assembly will need to be resealed or replaced. Many other owner's have converted to aftermarket HID replacement kits. These kits feature new technology, being less expensive and water resistant.

For more detailed info on HID problems and fixes.....check the 2nd Gen "DIY" sticky or search the many previous related threads on the subject. Good luck !!!
