I guess I was lucky to have been able to remove it without having to remove the bumper on mine then, just needed a bit of force and a long screw driver for a bit of leverage though. Mind you it did take me a few hours to change the xenon light bullb and re fit.

only reason why i had to change my headlights was because a main beam bulb blew & tryin to push new bulb into them poxi rather clips i managed to brake the headlight adjuster!! so a 5min job befor i went out turned in to a 2hour job because sum smart arse police mechanic!! had cable tied the washer jet pipes to the headlight & to bumper crash panel so bumper had to come off!!! so while off uprated the fogs to ice blue 80w bulbs  :y that saved my knuckles!!

PFL its easier to remove bumper if you have Elite or MV6.

Facelift, bumper can stay put.

The pfl headlight washers are bolted to underside of headlight, meaning not enough room between bumper and the metalwork above headlight to slide it out.

Ah, that's why I had no problems on my pfl cdx. No hids = no washers.

It is possible to unbolt washers in situ, but its far quicker and easier to pull the bumper off - 6 easy screws and 2 push clips :)
