Post instructions to remove front bumper

I need to install new HID low bulbs.

I cannot find instructions on how to remove the front bumper.

Can someone please post a link.

Thanks.

1)six bolts underneath bumper and 2 snap screws
2)1 screw and 2 snap screws near front wheel wells (Drive and Passenger sides)
3)4 bolts holding the shield in the engine bay

then off it goes, you'll have to pry a little to take it off, but it will come off

Then...

4) 2 bolts on top holding headlights (Drive and Passenger side)
6) 2 bolts holding the assembly underneath the headlights, one right in the front and the other near the outboard side (Driver and Passenger side)

That's it...I will try to look for the actual Acura manual thingy, but don't have it saved on this computer

Good Luck!

One thing you need to be very careful when pull the front bumper out from the body (step 9 and step 10). DO NOT pull it too far from the body until all the connectors are unplugged. I almost broke them when I removed the front bumper to put the sport chrome grille in. Beside of that, it's not too hard. You can get it off the body in 30 min.

I'm guessing you didn't have any luck going through the wheel well area?

Why take off the bumper? In the owners manual it will tell you how to replace the HID's. Simply go in thru the wheelwell. I did that to swap my sidemarkers with LED's and it took me about 10min total.
