I wanna do that whole paint the inner headlight housings, but I will NOT remove that front bumper myself, damn it, if you didnt live in Kansas, I'd pay you to take it off for me.

Really helpful DIY! Many thanks! Actually you don't have to pull down whole bumper. Mine was partly on. But all screws were down for case of breaking something. Both headlights were down (damned parking LEDs which fallen into headlight casing).

Haha! Removing the bumper and headlights is probably much less scary than working on the electronics (i.e., gauge cluster assembly). The only thing annoying is getting the underbody panel oriented properly so it can be screwed back in place.

How did you manage to get to the bolt underneath the headlight? That would be a pain to stick wedge my arm between the bumper and chassis. Glad you got it! Happy modding!
