Im trying to remove mine but it looks as if the front bumper may have to come off?

Are you trying to remove just the headlights or the entire housing?

Owners manual? Yea and its honestly not that bad. The majority of the things holding the bumper on are pop rivets. Done with driver side. Working on passenger side now.

Its pretty much the same thing I had to do on my friends Gen Coupe.

Should have done a DIY. :p

Got to go get a short 10mm and an 8mm. Should be good to go then.

Are you replacing them with JDM ones or are you baking and coloring them?

Neither. I am gettting the lens smoked professionally. Same with tailights except they will be painted red and then smoked. No they will not be black. Just a shade or two darker than stock.

Its why I was asking for someone to photoshop a smoked headlight on an FRS in a couple of different shades so I can use it as reference for the guy painting them.

Bumper is off. Fairly simple. Just need a 10mm, flathead, and phillips.

Headlights are tricky to get out. They have a guard around them that holds them in place.
