Removing the Front Bumper

Ok this was a request from a couple of people to get to their high beams. I have a 94 front bumper with the factory lip. The 91 - 93 model might vary , but I am not to sure about that.

Tools
- 10mm socket wrench
- Small phillips head for the tight spots
- pliers
- flat head screw driver

Step 1
Remove a couple of screws for the splash guard and bend it like so. It may help to turn the wheel to take the screws off and have more room to put your hand through.

Step 2
Remove the two screws on the right and the two for your headlight. Dont forget to disconnect the side indicator bulb. Now remove the bolt on top of your headlight. You should now be able to disconnect your bulbs and pull out your headlight. I advise to put some masking tape to protect your paint.

Step3
Remove the three plugs. Make sure to unscrew them a bit before pulling them out. This is where the pliers and flat head screw driver came in handy to pop them out.

Step 6
Once the rubber strip is removed, this should expose 5 screws - remove these.

Step7
Remove the middle under tray. There are 5 screws at the front, 5 in the back and one on each side.

remove any other crews attached to your bumper, for example my lip was attached to the under tray on the sides and the splash guard where the wheel is.
