Look through the DIY topics in this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-garage-faq-3g-tl-newbies-553554/


I'm sure headlight removal is in there somewhere.

I did it the other day by myself to make sure my HID fog bulbs were properly seated..couldnt get enough leverage with them in the car (bulbs were wedged somehow so I couldnt even remove them).

protip: if you're doing this by yourself, grab some beach towels and put em under/in front of your bumper and over lap them. Beach towels are big and relatively thick. As i was tugging on the bumper it just popped off and landed perfectly on the towel. Couldnt have done it better. the whole deal including checking the bulbs and putting everything back took an hour and a half. I was able to put the bumper back on by myself as well. Service manual says its a 2 person job.

I also give you one tip. If you have a heat gun, you can use them to open the headlight ( for safety because I burn my headlight twice ) and when close them, just need to heat up the black part in the oven.
