I noticed that under my headlights are two black screws, im trying to paint my headlights but i cant get to the screws to remove my bumper because they are under the headights. I can see the screws through the lights. Is there another way to get to these two screws under each of the headlights? I have searched and no one has talked about these particular screws. So far i have removed most of the screws for the casing that is holding the headlights onto the car. Removed the bolts under the fender on both sides holding the bumper to it, All the screws i could get to on top of the bumper under the grill. I just need to remove the screws under the headlights from what i think.
thanks

 

this kind of explains it but he doesnt not talk about the screws under the headlights ontop of the bumper

hahaha, there's no "real" right way of taking the headlight off. you just have to fiddle with it. just try to take off all the screws holding the headlight on the bracket. dont take out the adjustment screw towards the top of the headlight though, you're going to have to play with it to get the 3 holding screws out. after that, you just try to get under the headlight by just lifting it. i know it sounds SUPER VAGUE, sorry. took me like 1-2 hours first time i did it (and the only time so far )

 

thanks for the reply!
if all else fails, ill hook my bumper up to my TRD 4x4 and see if it will come off then

 

take out the bumper turn signals. directly behind the lights, you'll see 2 bolts on each side holding the bumper support on. remove those, they're the only bolts holding the bumper on. now remove the bumper, then remove the bolts ont eh bottom side of the headlight.

Well those are just the plastic screws. The two behind the bumper lights go into the frame or something. They are the hardest to get off IMO.

 

ohhh i think i get it sj993..

There is also a screw on each side of the car where the bumper meets the fender, and those need to be removed also.

The bumper is only held on by 4 bolts and 2 screws, I don't see why people have trouble with this. It took me about 10 minutes to take off my bumper when I was painting my lights (took me 5 minutes to find a screwdriver long enough to get to those bumper lights).

 

i dont know if it will help but when i needed to take off those plastic screws underneath the headlights . i took out all the bolts from the headlight so it would move around while i needed to take off the plastic screws . and then i used a screwdriver bit about an inch long and held it with pliers and tried to unscrew it out a little bit . and then used a flathead to pry out the whole screw while it was sticking out a little .
