I just got an HID conversion kit for my '97 and i took a look @ the head lights this morning. There seems to be no room at all for me to work with the lights on. But it seems like if i wuz to remove the headlights i would first need to remove the front bumber cover...true???
I seems a lil rediculous cuz i didnt even have enough room to remove my bulb...do if some blow's there bulb they gotta remove their whole bumper & headlamp to change a bulb???
Please, someone tell me im wrong.

remove center grille first. from behind at each end is an 1-1/2 square hole....stick finger in and u should feel a clip prong....push towards headlamp AND pull grille OUT towards front....do each side....it will "pop" out (if you just pull hard on grille u will break at least 2 of the clips!). u will see 2 screws each side for headlamp where grille was.
then remove corner lamps and u will see 2 screws each side for headlamp. 4 screws total for each lamp...should come right out! good luck.
