Replacing Headlight Assembly

Is there an FAQ/walkthrough on this site? I've searched to no avail.

I've found details on replacing bulbs but nothing on removing the assembly itself. Does it require removing the front bumper?

Thanks.

gunner14.. almost 97% of the cars on the road require for you to remove the bumper to remove the headlights.. so yes.. but if you have that question, you shouldnt be removing anything off your car..

Well shoot. Guess I'll be paying someone to do my headlight swap.

Can someone post up a DIY on bumper removal. I would also like one just as the OP is asking for one.

It's not hard to figure out.. 4 10mm bolts on top of the grille insert under the front hood edge, 4 or so 10mm bolts on the bottom and one each on the wheel-well lip (Phillips).

That's just from memory. I had mine off

Yea, it was a piece of cake. Followed the steps and it took me maybe two hours from start to finish.

Used this as a guide:
