Replacing HIDs
Do I need to remove my IX bumper to replace the old HIDs? The passenger side was turning pink so I decided to to get a pair of 5000K to replace the OEM 4300K.
I've searched.

I took a look as well and if only I had skinny finers, I would be able to reach in. As much as I dont want to remove my bumper after a blizzard. It looks like I might have to.

It's very easy, no stress. You can leave the plastic undertray connected and just pull the bumper forward, but not completely off. That will save you some time (and those annoying clips).

Undertray-less evos with stock intercoolers usually have big gaps (mostly an VIII issue) where you can see the street. That's why I still have mine.
Eclipses were similar in their headlight design; you had to remove the bumper to get them off. However, the bulbs could be changed out without removing anything.
Look at the bright side, you get to remove all the bugs and leaves stuck behind your mesh grills!
