You can either drop the bumper or I went through the inside of the wheel well. Going through the wheel well is a semi-tight fit but definitely possible. Just turn your wheel all the way so your tires dont get in the way.

I spoke with a performance shop mechanic, he said you may be able to slide out the headlight without dropping the bumper. Although, even though he said it, Im not sure if this is possible or if anyone has done it.

Just by looking at it, for real? lol

I have taken off the front bumper a few times and find it impossible unless you want to drill a hole on both side of the front bumper.

The shortcut is you can partially drop the front bumper to remove both headlights. I can do that in 15 minutes most.
