Default headlight question

was thinking of getting some smoked headlights cause mine are scratched up do you have to remove entire bumper to get headlights out?

Yes you do, because two of the three bolts holding the headlight on are behind the facia. I just went through the operation this evening installing halo fog and headlights. Sadly the halo fogs aren't holding up their end of the bargin and I am going to have to do it again.

Yeah you do, its not that bad if you just take your time. It should only take 30 min to do, maybe an hour-hour and a half to take off, switch lights and re install the front fascia.

I also found this extremely helpful while doing this.
