headlight removal?
I am trying to remove both headlight housings. 4 bolts ain't it. Have searched here and will try removing the grille. Any help appreciated. I had to walk away before I grabbed my HAMMER.
First remove the grille, 4 screws at the top, the bottom pulls straight out forward. Remove the bolt next to the headlight that attaches to the front bumper. Gently pull the bumper upright out just a little and place a piece of wood, etc to hold it out of the way to gain clearance. With the grille removed, you can easily remove the inner bottom bolts. Remove the fender marker lights to access the bottom outer bolts.
When doing this, I apply wide masking tape on all painted areas for protection.

You can get a bit more clearance if you snug the threaded spacers that the bottom bolts go through up into the brackets. I had to jiggle mine around a bit but they did come out without removing the bumper. It is a tight fit, though. If I remember correctly I had to turn them 90 degrees before they'd slide out. Removing the grille doesn't make much if any difference but my grille was out when I took out the headlights. Good luck!
Follow the link in my sig to get it if you have not already.
