Silly.

I do believe you'll have to remove the front bumper. There are 2 10mm bolts, 2 screws under the bumper and at each fender, then 4 10mm bolts on each headlight. That will get the headlights off the car. I hope that helps.

I never had to pull my front bumper to do that.

No you do not have to remove you bumper. All you have to do is take out the grill then remove the two bolts on top of the light. After you get the two on top out there is one in front way nown by the bumper suport and anoter bolt in side the wheel well. then you can disconect it and pull it out but when you do you have to pull on the top part of the bumper by the grill and slowly pull it out it will take like 5 min. i have to do it all the time because i get water in mine all the time. well hope you get it. good luck.

No it will not brake but you have to be carfull. Like i said i have done it. um... if you dont want to take any chances i would take off the bumper but like i said it will only take 5 min to take it out the way i said. if you take off the bumper i have no idea how long it will take i have never done it that way. but if you un bolt the 4 bolts you can try to take it out and if you feel that it just will not come out without braking the bumper then take off the bumper its worth a try.

Oops, I am sorry about my information. I will try to make sure that I only pop in when I am 100% sure of what I say. But these people know what they're doing, so hopefully everything goes well with their advice. :]
