How to remove front bumper cover
Trying to remove my front bumper cover.
all bots removed amd it’s loose but I’m stuck by the lights.
2 areas that attach by the lights, was able to use a screw driver to pry the one loose, it can’t find the one that is right next to the light, amd it won’t budge.
hope someone can help.
thanks

Do a DIY ON THIS MAN plus dont do no more at this point if you brake off that piece you will have to buy a new front bumper, Are hope you can glue it back & that it will hold. Plus you need to buy those plastic tools that is also in the DIY post cost for those is about 15.00 you can buy at any auto part stock those are plastic..Robert

Pry up careful just enough to stick a bit driver in there. Use a flashlight to see the two hex head bolts that hold a black bracket. Just to the inside of the top of the head lights. Loosen the bolts slightly and the bumper should come up easily. You will need to try and put it back the same for bumper fitment.

I pulled mine off last week. If you can pop those tabs out from above you're better off. If you loosen the two bolts just be sure to put them back in the same place when you tighten them down. I got the ends off first, in the wheel well, and then got the center ones last. Good luck.

Mine will not budge, was able to pop the one set of clips you can see, but the clips closest to the lights will not budge.
Keep hearing about the two screws, but can't find them.
Can someone please tell me the location of the two screws that hold this tab by the lights?
Thanks, Jetfan

I've had mine off a couple times and it always gets stuck at the inner headlight spot. I take a very small screwdriver and stick it down and pop the clips. Just have to be careful not to pull hard and tear the bumper or scratch the paint.
