I know this is a stupid issue, but my car has been shaved so i cannot remove the front bumper... i know i know I wouldnt have done it myself but it was shaved when i bought it. But I need to replace my headlights and I was wiondering if anyone knows if you can remove the headlights without taking the bumper off. If anyone knows how to or can help out let me know!

 

are you talking about the headlight bulbs? or the whole headlight?

 

the whole headlight itself, my lense is scraped up on one of them and teh other is all fogged and cloudy and i can't get the condensation out, so I want to install a whole new set

 

No, you can't, you have to take the bumper out.

 

+1

 

What is it with people and their fear of taking the bumper off? It's real easy and it is required to get the headlights out.

 

it's not a fear, my front end is shaved so I can't remove the bumper at all

 

^I appologize, I completely skipped over the first post and didn't see the situation.

 

it's all good, it just sucks as I need to change out these nasty *** headlights. I would never shave a car myself but since it hcame like that I have to deal with it. I was thinkint you can pull them out from the back if you take the wheels off, but then again I don't know so I'm hoping someone has done it before.

 

I have to work on my car this weekend, I'll see if I can find some way to get it out without taking the bumper off, but I really don't forsee that happening.

 

can you show us a picture of what the front looks like. i have no idea what your bumper looks like being "shaved"

usually it's emblems that are shaved.

 

^Whew, I had no idea what he was talking about either.

 

LOL

you so funny roadster brother

 

i mean that the bumper and kit is molded, shaved for some reason meant the same thing to me, but with the pic below you'll know what i mean:

 

Ohh. I like it. I like it enough to try to figure out htf we're going to get those headlights out.

Roadster 4 Life Yo.

 

I'm guessing it's molded to the fender.

Edit: ^^ you got me first

 

Wow it looks like the front bumper is molded to the fenders, and the fenders are molded to the sideskirts and the sideskirts are molded to the quarter panel.

 

wow, that looks good, but wow....how are we gonna it off

 

correct, yes I know it sucks! Makes for careful driving so i dont crack the molds. I had a molded bodykit before on my widebody MR2 but I had to mold it because its widebody and that's the only way to go on those!

I think there is a metal hangar or bracket that it bolts to inside the fender area and might not be able to pull it out the back.

 

What up Kyle? Man you should have done that when you got your bumper fixed.
