however that is out of date..i need to update it badly...for the bottom bolts under the headlites (1 each for both headlites) You will need to get a real long socket extension and tuck it between the top of the bumper and the bottom of the headlite. Then you can loosen it easily and then remove the headlite.


When you have the headlites put back in...DONT tighten those top screws all the way or they will strip easily!

The hard part is removing the stock bumper. Once it's off, it's cake working on the front end of you car from now on until you never own it again. I would recomend NOT breaking off the headlites and I also recommend keeping your re-enforcement bar and re-attaching the bottom bolts of the headlites....

I don't know how your front ends are on but on my 95 I ripped out those damn plastic things and got bolts and bolted my bumper back on. And since I didn't feel like putting all 4 bolts onto my headlights I only put in the two easiest bolts.
