headlight change

Do you really have to take the front bumper off just to change the low beam bulb ? or does anyone else have a trick to it ? thanks in advance

Yes, the light is basically right behind the fender.

Don't get discouraged taking the front bumper off it's really easy. Once you've done it a couple times it becomes like second nature. I can get an 8 front bumper off in like 2-3 minutes. If someone rushed they could probably have the bumper off in less than a minute....it's that easy!!

Ive done the right bulb before but only cuz i was new to this. Left is damn near impossible. But like he said, the bumber is easy especially if you do not have an undertray. Couple fender liner bolts, couple on top and a couple in the mesh below, maybe a few pop screws and thats it.
