2008 LE Headlight Assembly Removal

Postby Bandy1080 » Tue Sep 14, 2010 7:33 am

I had a HID bulb blow over the weekend and it left a little bit of smoke marks and black ash inside. I tried removing the entire case to clean it but couldn't quite figure out how to remove it. I removed the two screws on the top, and then removed the front grill to get the side screws but it was still attached on the bottom somewhere. I don't have to remove the bumper do i?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

you might have to remove or lower the side of the bumper. there is a braket/beam that holds the healight in place aside from the bolts.

sry to revive the old thread.. Has anyone been able to pull the housings without removing the front bumper? I've gotta put led strobes in my parking lights and I'd really rather not pull the bumper if I can avoid it.. I pulled the wheel wells and removed the hidden screws, before I spend another hour futzing with the light I figured I'd ask..
