get the bumper off and you ll see from4-6 screws on the little black holders around the lights.. its easy to get the lights out. the bumper sucks

oh and parking lights are your corners.. next to the headlights.. those just have a little screw in the corner

get a Haynes manual from Autozone or someplace. I just put JDM headlights on my car last month. I followed every step and it didn't take too long at all. The bumper is actually really easy to take off.

You do have to be a little forceful when removing the bumper. pull outwards. sorry, if i was there, i could be more help. i'd like to be in florida.

sorry..but the lip is totally unnecessary to remove the lip while removing the whole bumper. do a search under bumper removal or headlight removal. i learned from one of the few.

hey ok me and my friend attempted to do it yesterday but we only got half finished
we had a problem getting the new ones in.
We figured out how to take of the bumper cover. but how do u take off the bumper itself? that part keep getting hung up on the headlight not allowing us to slide the mounts on top of the headlight under the frame where the mount.

To get the headlights off you don't need to take the bumper all the way off, just loosen in enough so you can pull it down about an inch to get to the bolts underneath each headlight enclosure.
