Anyone in Columbus Ohio wanna help?
I'm pretty sure I'm the only one from columbus, but I thought I would try. I had my headlights retrofitted by Illusion Lighting last summer and my drivers side needs to be sent back out to be fixed. The dealership is gonna charge me $350 to remove the bumper and headlight and thats with being friends with the service guy. Obviously I don't want to pay that, but I don't feel comfortable removing the bumper myself, so I thought I'd at least see if there was anyone that could help and I would of course make it worth your while. Thanks in advance

LOL 350 dollers? holly molly, dude I live in il but i would do it for 30 bucks 
, you dont need to remove the whole bumper, in fact if you have a wrench with an extension, a 10mm socket your good to go. Here is what you do. 1st pop the hood remove the bolts holding the headlight on top. 2nd step is well it depands on which side if your removing the right side headlight for ex then you turn your wheels all the way to the left and then you can turn your car of, now look in front of the wheel there is a plastic mud guard that covers all of the inside, all you do is remove the screws on the bottom ( 2 I think ) then remove the 2 plastic screws that hold it at the edge and on top. Now pull the plastic back and secure it with something so it doesnt move forward to get in your way. Now you need a flashlight to look inside and you will see 2 10mm bolts holding the bumper its kinda deep so you will have to manuever your hands in there ( its gonna be pretty annoying ). Unscrewd the 2 screws and there should be one more close to the wheel holding the bumper to the fender remove that one to and now pull the bumper back on the side, all you need is a little clearence and there is 1 more bolt holding the headlight which is under the front bumper cover ( thats the reson why the headlight wont just come of ) so unscrew that one and carifully pull the headlight out and walla. Who ever told you that you need to take the whole bumper of obviously has to much time on there hands. once your done put it all back togather. It shouldnt take you anymore then 30 mins the first time you do this.
