i need help with bulb replacement please "help"

ok i got one in and it was Fu*#ing hard i took half of the corner panel off the three bolts under the hood and pulled it out a little bit! i also took the two bolts from the headlights out but it barely moved? there is barely space behide the headlight to pull the bulb out! i could just get it out but the bulb in there is really small and the bulb i'm putting in is bigger! i took the plastic clips out from the wheel well it help a little bit

my question is am i missing something i stop with the second one because it got dark but i checked it out and there look like even less space behide the headlight

p.s. i dont know how i got the first one in with out bending or braking something
so dont know how i'm going to get the second one in so can someone help me out here please

and i heard of that book that sell that you use for working on the car if someone has one can you check it out for me thanks if know one has one do you think that will help me out because i don't know what else i should take off and i really don't think i can get the second one in?


any help would be greatly needed

I'm pretty sure the Lancer Evolution service manual will tell you how to do it. Hell maybe if you are lucky the owners manual will tell you. I don't know how it is on the evo but i think you have to remove the front bumper.

ok, this is how you remove bumper. very easy.

1. drill
drill below the crest of the bumper on the right and left sides, right below the headlights. yule notice that there's a bolt around there.
2. use a rachet and extension to remove bolt
3. replace bumper

mitsu made it hard for us, everytime we remove our bumpers, we have to buy a new one.
