Fitting new headlamps

[Rigz_vtr]

Anybody know how to fit new headlamps??

Right, thats kind of the wrong question, How the f*** do you get the front bumper off. I have the haynes manual, but thats not really helping, it just says remove arch liners, then undo bolts bla bla bla...

1st of all, how do i remove the F'in arch liners, theyre held on by those black clips, but im unsure how to undo them.

Then once thats been done, where are the bolts for the front bumper,will they just be clear once the liners are out? I have removed umpteen screw/bolts and its still holding on strong.

Thanks in advance for any1 who can give advice

if its just headlights your replacing then u can get to em, without taking the bumper off, i did anyway, last weekend, think theres only 3 bolts on each light.

yeah no need to remove bumper smileys/smiley5.gif

just unbolt the old lights and unplug them, then just wiggle the lights out! you might need to push the bumper down so you can get the lights out though smileys/smiley14.gif

takes ALOT of wiggling and swearing but it's better than taking the bumper off.

Be careful not to snap the clip under the lights off in doing that though.
