Is it possible to replace the headlamps without removing the bumper? It just seems like a royal pain to remove the bumper (plus I live in an apartment complex, so I have no place to set aside the bumper). Anyone have any tips??? Thanks!

 

Unfortunatelly you have to remove the bumper to remove the headlights. Actually its quite easy to do. I removed mine one winter morning on the street. It should only take 30 min with min tools. First remove the wheel well covers to access to nuts on the inside. You should have several nuts inside the wheel wells, underneath and by the grill. Overall a 2 on a scale of 1-10.

 

The bulbs can be replaced w/o removing bumper cover.

The assembly does require the removal of the cover, but it is easy.
