#1: fitting fan loom, help removing bumper? Author: Kelz, Location: KentPosted: Sun Apr 01, 2012 5:04 am ---- ok i read a few things on here about taking the bumper off and some say taking the headlamps out but others say you don't need to?
so how do you remove the bumper without taking them out? as the torx drive is under the light?

remove the headlight, its only 3 bolts
should be 1 bolt either side and 3 torx screws on the front and it should pop off

Its just as easy to leave the headlamps in

If the bumper bolts are seized access if often easier from above with the headlights removed.

The plugs were different so had to cut the loom half way and join the new loom onto it etc
