Front Bumper Removel Question

[brad_kauz]

Ok I have done some searches on removing the front bumper and I tried taking it off this weekend but I got it down to the two screws under the lights and i gave up and put it back on cause i couldn't get those out. So anyways, i have read about taking out two 14 mm bolts on each side of the frame to take out the bumper assembly, and i was wondering if anyone had any pics or detailed instructions on where these are at? Or is there any easy way to get the two from under the lights out? Also what are the plastic screws holding on the bumper support? And are those even needed and if not what is the best way of taking those out.

I'm not sure what 14mm bolts you are talking about the only bolts that I know that hold the bumper are underneath the bumper cover. You don't need those plastic screw clip thingys that are under the lights on the bumper cover. Just break then off and pull the bumper off. Then you will see 4 bolts (2 on top and 2 on the bottom) of you bumper. Take them out and pull your bumper off and then you can remover the screws on the bottom of the headlights if that is what you are trying to get to.

Once you remove them I would not replace them when you put headlights back on your car, you don't really need them and it is less work if you want to take a headlight out again.
