Removing the front bumper
Im sure theres a post about this on here somewhere and I just cant find it, but can anyone tell me how to remove the front bumper? I mean the bolts behind the headlight. Can anyone tell me how to get to them to take them out? Or at least direct me to a previous post where someone explained this already? I spent like an hour earlier just looking for them behind the bumper (never found them, unless im blind), and about another hour looking on here for a post about this to keep from having to make this post. Oh well. Help plz. Thanks.

The link won't work but get in utube type in Lexus GS headlight install, spec-d shows u..
BUT !!!! U can get your bumper to fall down enough if u just get the screws that are up by the side marker lights, its right above it I believe, take them out first and your bumper will fall down..
U can go in through the wheel well, its right below the bottom of the headlight on the right, I had a pic I can't find it, and I did find all this on these forums....

the vertical gap at the headlight where the fender contacts the front bumper has 2 nuts that hold the bumper to the fender. everything else is pretty visible.
to get at the nuts, you will need to roll the fender liner back. use a long socketed 10mm socket w/ extender.
while you are there, there is also a 10mm thick threaded screw that holds the fender to the bumper right at the very corner where the fender attaches to the bumper at the wheel arch.
