yo, i'm thowing a k&n filter on my CAI, and i'm in the process of removing my front bumper. i've removed every single screw, clip, nut there is to remove, including the bottom turn lights. now, the bumper is basically hanging on by a thread because i can't get the three screws right under the headlight. do u have to remove the head lights or what? is there a way to get the bumper off without removing the headlights? any help would be appreciated

 

what gen?

5th gen has something like 12 screws, but it's not hard to take out without taking out the lights.

 

4th gen. you have wasted your time.
all you need to do is remove the lower running lights and turn signals. you know the metal support behind the bumper? you just remove 4 bolts and the bumper pops right off. so, i think thats a total of 6 bolts to remove.

 

aright i'm gonna give it a shot, thanks a lot man

 

Its a bit more then just the 4 bolts. There are two nuts under the hood, and the splash shields in the fenders. IMO, its not worth it to take the entire bumper off to do what you are trying to do.

If you look through the hole that the turn signal goes into, you will see two bolts on each side. take those out.

If you look under the hood, under the headlight, between the high and lowbeam socket, is another nut, one on each side. Take those out, make sure the plastic splashguard is removed on the bottom and the sides, and then slide the bumper support out.
