I noticed the 6 metal clips that hold the lense on. The top 3 are easily accessible and were a snap to take off, the bottom 3 are hidden in the back between the upper bumper and the lense. Im guessing the front bumper needs to come off to access them and remove them? If not is there an easier way to replace the bulb? Thanks.

What are you doing??? NO! Dont dismantle the housing!!! The way to replace them is behind the headlight, its a little round thing that unscrews!!!!!

To take the lense off there are 6 clips and then you have to heat up the glue to make it open easier. You have to peel it open from the smaller end since there is a small tab on one end. When your changing your bulbs make sure not to touch the bulbs. The caps are easy to screw off but a real pain to fit your hand in there to put the new bulbs back in.
