i got a 5th gen and i had to take off the bumper there is one bolt under my turn signal and one right next to it there where 4 in all 2 on each side.

to change the headlights on 6th gens you have to take off the bumper

If you have the tool...it is really easy.

I did it even without good tools....Just pain the but.
For 6th gen, there are bolts that you need to unscrew.
You need to take the bumper off. (not hard at all)


Two bolts right below the headlight and one by the side.

Oh ...there is one on the top

Then you should take is out w/out problem.

yeah i think you do have to take bumper off....
i really hate it how they make disassemle the whole car to take somethink small off like lights or gauge cluster...these guys really suck at designing cars when it comes to these things
thats probably because most engineers and designers instead of studying were partying in college ...and damn i cannot blame them for that

take off your stock bumpers if i remember right.... 4dr has about 8 clips on the bumper and coupes has 6 clips on the bumper then use the 12mm to loosen the head light screws, 4 screws each...
hope that helps
