Default 2013+ Intake install (front bumper/LED)

Can anyone who has removed the front bumper of a 2013 give some tips on what happens when you pull the bumper skin off the car.

What do you need to unplug and where to fully remove the bumper from the car to allow for an intake install?

Thanks!

You unplug two plugs... One on each side for each led. Otherwise it's the same as previous years bumper removal

Is it a simple harness with the tab in the middle you push in?

Thanks so much

you can reach under it and just pull it out... i didn't install it myself, i took it to a shop, but i watched them do it. it was pretty simple to take it off actually. i thought it would have been harder, but he had the bumper of in what seemed like a minute.

Really really easy to remove bumper. The LED lights are no worry and a simple clip. A friend to help is always nice. Someone to hold your beer for a second.

I did my intake install without unplugging the lights. Once the bumper was off. It had around a foot of slack in the wiring which was enough to get it out of the way for the install.
