Default For those of you with projector headlights

I just got my projector headlights in. Do you have to take the bumper off to get the stock ones off? I have everything that was holding it in out, but it looks as if I may have to take the bumper off. Just wanted to check with someone who had them before I waste a lot of time. Thanks.

My buddy just put some in on his 05gt and i think he said he could have done it without takin the bumper off but he took it off to make it easier and also so he has more room to work to get it rite. Hope this helps...P.s They look Bada**

I had to take my front bumper off. It isnt worth breaking off the front bumper retaining clip and then deal with having a new bumper or bondo work done. Removing the front bumper is not bad and only takes about a half hour.

I took off the front bumper and looked at everything, and you must take it off. The headlights have a small clip on the bottom in which the bumper slides into. You can't move the headlights back enough to slide it out so taking the bumper off is a must.
