Difficulty Level

Tools/Supplies Needed:

• standard/flat screwdriver or clip removal tool
• nylon trim tool
• T50 torx bit driver
• ratchet
• 8mm wrench

Procedure:

• remove the four plastic expanding clips from the grills next to the fog lights
• remove the two clips located on the top side of the grill on each side using a small V style pry tool, a standard screw driver, or side cutters will also work but be careful not to cut the pin
• the center of the pin pulls straight out and this disengages the expanding clip, then you will be able to fully remove the clips
• using a pry tool, disconnect two tabs on the top of the grill, remove the top portion first and then the lower portion will release, do this for both sides
• fogs lights can be removed now or after
• to remove the fog lights, remove the two bolts on each fog light and them pull the bolt side out first, there will be a tab on the opposite side
• once the fog light is remove, disconnect the clip on the backside, but depressing the tab and pulling straight off
• remove the two 8mm bolts at the top of the lower liner, the one closest to the outside does connect directly to the bumper
• next remove the two bottom 8mm bolts which also connect directly to the bumper
• finally remove the two T50 torx bolts holding on the bumper assembly which are located above the grills we removed earlier, one on each side
• having extra person helping out to remove the bumper is recommended
• inserting one hand behind the aluminum rebar where the grills were removed and another hand firmly on the wheel well side of the bumper, pull straight off the vehicle
• some extra force may be needed
• once removed, disconnect the fog light wires by depressing a tab and pulling away from the fog light assembly
• if your vehicle is equipped with headlight washers, remove the feed hose by pulling the black clip outward and then disconnecting the hose connection
• installation in reverse of removal
