Prius c headlight assembly removal

Should be very similar to the Gen 3:

DIY: How to black-out the headlights on a 2010+ Prius | Balancing Act

 

pretty much, altho i don't remember a metal security tab.... three 10 mm bolts per headlight

 

If I need to remove only one headlight... Do I have to remove bumper cover completely? Is it possible to just pry side to get access to a third bolt?

PS. I broke a bulb in the housing... have only "connector" in my hand. So, have to remove headlight assembly to remove remainings... Don't even want to try to pick it in place - afraid I can push it inside the housing.

 

I have. It's pretty straight forward once the bumper cover is off. If you aren't in a hurry I plan to do some wrapping in the next couple of weeks that will have the front end apart and I can grab photos then.

 

Hi Brandon,

I just wonder if you are going to post the steps and photos on how to remove the front bumper cover? I have water condensation in my front headlight (driver side) and want to repair it.

 

Pretty sure he did a guide a few days ago. Do a quick search.

 

Yes I did, I was just too lazy to search back to find this thread. lol

Here you go Bumper, Badge, Grill, and Headlight notes. Not a how to, but it might help. | PriusChat

 

Just an FYI for anyone who needs to replace a headlight assembly in the Prius C. I was able to remove/replace the headlight assembly by releasing the top of the bumper as seen as the three clips in Brandon's first picture and unsnapping the side needed to reach the bolt for the headlight/bumper clip and to pull the bumper back far enough to get the headlight assembly out. Complete removal of the bumper was not needed.
