Hey guys just a quick question, my hiper light bulbs exploded on me and the glass bulb itself is sitting in the headlight housing right now, I just need info or a website on how to take the headlight off. And thank you in advance if you provide answers!!!

Peace

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. If you need to take the headlight off the car in order to shake out the glass, you first need to remove your front bumper.

What you have to do is remove the bumper cover and the actual metal bumper (which is behind the bumper cover) at the same time.

• remove all tabs on top of the bumper cover
• remove the little grills next to headlights
• remove turn signals that are located under headlights
• once you remove those, you will see two bolts on each side of the car which hold the metal bumper to the frame of the car. You will need a long extension in order for the socket to reach those.
• then there are two bolts on each side of the car in the wheel wells which connect the bumper cover to the fender. Remove those.
• Place a large thick blanket from your bed under your bumper cover so that if it falls unexpectedly you will not damage the paint.
• Then there is one bolt on each side of the car in the engine bay. There is one bolt kind of under each headlight (looks bronze / gold in color). Remove those. The one on the drivers side is easy to get to but on the passenger side you have to loosen your battery tie down and move your battery out of the way for easy access.
• Then you just have to pull the bumper cover off. When you do this the bumper cover and metal bumper come off in one piece.

Once you have the bumper and metal reinforcement off you will see all the bolts necessary to remove the headlight assembly.

In order to avoid all this work, can you simply try to get a small vaccumm extension in there to suck all the pieces out. Or even try putting some duct tape on a piece of pliable wire and try to get all the pieces to stick on the tape.

Just a few thoughts you could try instead of removing the bumper.

Good luck

Mark
