You do not need to take off the front bumper to change them. It's more work trying to take the whole front bumper off.

Do a search, it's been asked a few times before.

Just make sure you start with the driver side first, it's a lot easier.

to remove the bumper, you have to remove the wheel wells, and most of the skidplate screws.

depending on your hand size and tool selection however; you may be able to stop there. (for sure on the drivers side, passenger is a tighter fit).

You don't have to remove the fender wells to take off the bumper, and only the front row of clips in the bottom skid/aero plate thing.

These 2 threads should be enough instructions on how to change the bumper reflectors.

Good luck.

I don't know about that. Maybe for the 03-05's.

But for the 06's, in order to remove the front bumper, you need to remove 3 bolts close to underneath/beisde the headlight that can only be accessed from the front fenders above the front wheel.

You don't need to remove the entire fender, just part of it to have enough access to undo those 3 bolts.

I just got mine from courtesyparts.com. I'm going to try and put them in without removing the bumper. To scared I won't be able to put it back together the right way.

Mines an 06
