Ok I just bought a new driver side headlamp because the original one has a leak which water is getting inside and it's not under warrenty yadda yadda yadda. Ok well anyway, I have the new headlight here at my house now im just waiting for my new HID lights to arrive so I can install everything all at once. Ok my question is, is there an easy way to remove the headlight without having to take off the bumper or is it I pretty much have to take it off? Anyhelp would be great, thanks!

 

It's a 2003 by the way.. sorry

 

You have to remove the bumper.

 

damn!.. that's what i thought..lol just was DOUBLE checking to see if someone knew a better way, thanks.

 

I just replaced my low beam bulbs and I didn't take the bumper off. I unbolted the wiper fluid fill tube and removed the air filter box....but if you have small hands you won't need to. Just don't unscrew the metal clip...it unclips from the bottom. And the base of the bulb has a notch in it which is at the top of the opening.

You'll need a torx security bit set...I think the size is T20. I bought a big security bit set for $10.

 

you can just use a knife or a small flat head screwdriver to get it off.. thats what i did.

 

have to remove the bumper to do it. And removing the bumper isnt that hard at all

 

I just reread that...I think you're talking about the entire headlight assembly, in which case you do need to remove the bumper.
