Removing Front Bumper Cover

How hard is it to remove the front bumper cover? I need to replace my headlight assembly and it looks like the easiest way is to take the bumper off. I've never removed or installed body parts before, is it just a couple screws and bolts? Thanks.

it's not hard at all....Do you still have the plastic cover on the bottom of your engine? anway after you take that off, you will also have to unbolt the brackets that connect your fender and front bumper. after you take the nose piece, there will be some bolts for the rest of the bumper,and if memory serves me (been a while) you should be good to go. Don't forget to unclip the harness for the turn signals and fog lights

You'll have to remove the center panel as well. There are a few bolts that need to removed beneath that cover.

You don't need to remove the fascia to remove the headlights. It makes it a little easier, buy also adds ~1.5 hours to the project.
