Does Changing Car Lights Require Bumper Removal?
1 Answers
Typically, changing car lights requires bumper removal. This is because one or more tabs of the headlight are secured behind the bumper, necessitating bumper removal when replacing the front headlights. Rear taillights generally do not require this step. Method for replacing the headlight assembly: Support the engine compartment cover of the car, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the fixing screws on both sides of the car's grille, then use a flathead screwdriver to loosen and pull out the plastic screws in the middle of the grille. This allows the bumper to be removed, after which the new headlight can be disconnected and replaced according to the wiring. Precautions when replacing headlights: Avoid touching the glass bulb directly with your hands. Even the slightest trace of oil from your fingers on the glass can shorten the bulb's lifespan, and prolonged use may pose a risk of bursting.
