    You shouldn't need to remove the bumper, just the inner fender in the wheel wells.

    Scratch that. I read this wrong. It looks like you will have to at least pull the headlight assembly which might need the bumper. I thought he was just adding the bulbs. My mistake...:oops:

    yes, bumper removal is necessary, and removing the bumper is not that hard really, just be careful when putting it back on where the bumper connects with the fender near the headlights, make sure that you have a towel to protect the headlights from getting scratched by the corner of the bumper

    Oh, thanks for the tips. I would have probably just put it down on the concrete.

    I wish the C had a 5 model that had the homelink mirror, backup camera and LED headlights...

    It can be done by just releasing the clips on the fender wells & all the tabs on top but be full warned.......doing this may cause stress on the bottom half of the bumper. U can place something under it so it doesn't sag so much.

    Hmm, I think I will probably try the tabs first. If that doesn't work well, I will just take off the bumper.
