Default removed front light assemblies

I just change my front light assemblies this past weekend. I jack the vehicle up and installed a jack stand. Then I removed the front wheel, right below the brake duct there is a panel that has 4 screws(mine had 4 screws).After removing the panel you have to remove the brake air duct, I think that is the is the hardness part. I push the duct forward and down. After removing it the light assembly is accessable. Two screws hold the assembly in. One is a hex head (10mm) and the other is the same type to remove the access panel. After removing assembly you see two other screws holding the light assembly to the bracket.

way to much work, all I did was put the car on ramps, undo 3 or 4 screws from the bottom back of the bumper and reach up and twist and pull the light out and replace the bulb. Takes longer to put the tools and ramps up then to do the work.

I agree with GRUNZ if you want to replace the whole assembly -changing the bulbs is easier through the top by the pop-up headlight assemblies
