Difficulty replacing light bulbs

Hello everybody I'm having a terribly tough time replacing my high beam bulbs and DRL. I tried taking apart in the engine bay trim and removing the air box and windshield wiper fluid reservoir, but it's way to difficult. just trying to locate the wires that are connect to the back of the headlight is near impossible.

If anybody has or knows of a thread on replacing the front headlight bulbs please post it.

haha, you sure you know what you are doing? take off the front panel thats held by the clips, the two side panels by the fenders. the high beam bulbs are right behind the rectangle cover that you have to slide the metal clip off to open. the rest is pretty much self explanatory.... took me like 10-15 mins to replace my high beams to led bulb...

lol it was really easy for me, there should be 2 plastic covers that are black the one that is closer to the middle is the cover u want to take off. pull the metal bar to one side to take off the cover. u should have access to ur parking lights and drl/high beams.

Does anybody have pictures of the clips and the cover? I'm also having a problem taking off the plastic cover by the two fenders but there's a Black washer/screw that is connected to both of them. How to I remove the Plastic cover's ?

Bro, if you are having trouble taking off the plastic covers by the two fenders, then I suggest you to pay someone to do it. It dont get any easier to take off the plastic pieces and if thats considered difficult for you, pay someone to do it before you break something.
