I took what I thought were all the screws in the bumper...and I still cant get the fucking thing off. Anyone have a diagram of where ALL the connectors are? I have the ones in the wheels wells, under the corners of the lights, and the ones under the car. What the fuck and I missing?

**warren** · 10-19-2010, 11:54 PM

behing the gril there is four

**evil-G-nius** · 10-20-2010, 12:19 AM

where? I see the top two...and those are broken. Where are the other two?

**Galanttuner10** · 10-20-2010, 12:27 AM

for the front bumper there are 6 bolts holding it on. 2 in the wheel well, the 2 retarted 1s by the headlight and the 2 behind the grilles. if it keeps giving you issues just take a 14 and undo the 4 bolts, 2 on each side that hold the metal supports to the bumper itself not just the cover and then it will all slide out

now i have 2 ask, did you take out the turn signals? the wires are so short it wont move much with them connected

**warren** · 10-20-2010, 12:27 AM

well when you take out the top front grille look up they should be like 4 two on both side and did you take from the crash bar and also there is like one right under the headlight

**Galanttuner10** · 10-20-2010, 12:49 AM

Yeah the turn signals are sitting on the floor. I removed...well...the clips in the wheel wells are broken on one side. The ones under the light I got out...so thats 4 right? I cant find whatever bolts are in the middle of the thing. The T bar is still on.....there is one bolt I can get to there either cuz its behind the radiatior....this is such a pain in the ass.

**evil-G-nius** · 10-20-2010, 03:24 AM

**warren** · 10-20-2010, 08:21 AM

**Galanttuner10** · 10-20-2010, 09:29 AM

crash bar is behind the bumper cover and doesnt hold it either.

evil, do you have 6 bolts out? if not its a bolt still in there. maybe at the bottom of the bumper, there is a little plastic piece that yours may still be connected to the bumper and its connected to the radiator support and would make it not budge but mine wasnt connected

**evil-G-nius** · 10-20-2010, 11:36 PM

OK I got it off. The problem was that there were two snap screws in the top of the bumper where it sits on the crash bar. So I popped those and with some force got it off. there was a bitch of a bolt on the T-bar to get that off too....now I am cleanin up wiring and shit before I try to install the lights. One thing I notice though, mine doesnt seem to have the infamous "tab" that needs to be cut or hammerd down. I dontk know why but it doesnt look like its there. Oh and it looks like I am gonna have to take off the crash bar in order to get these damn lights in too....that will be tomorrow I guess

So here is what I got:

and then the wiring I need to do....well...not sure where to begin. I have a harness that someone made me. It fits perfectly...but I think its missing something...I'll figure that out later

**Galanttuner10** · 10-20-2010, 11:57 PM

get hids, do you have the connectors for the bulbs as thats how i made myharness

**Galanttuner10** · 10-21-2010, 12:07 AM

i never took off the t bar either when doing my headlights and i changed mine twice. because you have the US bumper you should have had that. maybe you got lucky

**evil-G-nius** · 10-21-2010, 10:42 AM

I have connectors and I was planning on getting HIDS to put in before cuz it will be a pain in the ass to get those bulbs out later to do it. I do have connectors on my harness...but one thing I notices is that the main power (i guess) I only have on one side of the harness....I mean I dont have anything to connect the other light to the main power. At least that what it looks like...i'll have to take a picture of that later too so you can see what I mean

**Galanttuner10** · 10-21-2010, 04:27 PM

i did HID low beam and i didnt have to take the headlights back out or anything and the world spec bulbs just have 1 locking clip holding them in and for HIDs i get power from the battery and the plug from the passenger headlight plugs into the harness to tell them when to turn on
