Removing Headlights on '09

Post by Jyik40 »

Anyone have any experience removing the headlight from the 09? I need them out to get the tsx projectors in there. Anyone have any hints to make it easier? Does the front bumper cover have to come off? ThanksJason

Yeah, I asked lowincash already and he had a shop change his headlights from him. I actually bought the headlights from him. I see the mounting points, but I was wondering if there were any hidden bolts or clips that may be tricky.

look at the headlights you already have... with the 03-08's there is a hidden mounting bolt behind the bumper on the lower left or lower right depending on which headlight your looking at. So yea, 99% chance you will need to remove the bumper to get the headlight off.

You're right about the hidden bolts. I just got finished removing the headlamps. They were extremely easy to take out (kinda expected it to be being the car is designed by Toyota). Thanks for the help.
