No you do not, there are 3 bolts you need to remove in order to take out the headlight. Don't remember off the top of my head where they are located but you should see them. I think they are 12mm bolts.
You have to unbolt the entire soft bumper and remove. The dealer did this on my car to replace the headlight assembly.
Pull the complete headlight assembly out to get to the bulbs. You first have to pull the front bumper off, along with the wheel well to get to the headlight assembly.
To replace the headlight assembly on on 03 Jetta, the grill and front bumper have to be removed before you can get to the screws below the lamp.
Remove the wiring harness from the back of your headlight assembly. Remove the headlight assembly retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install your new headlight assembly.
First, you'll need to remove the front bumper. To do this, take off the bolts underneath the front part of the bumper. Remove the bumper turn signals to access the two bolts per side that hold the bumper on the car. Support the bumper by putting something underneath it. Then get a stubby Phillips screwdriver and remove the two screws per side at the end of the bumper (in the wheel well). Bumper should come off. Remove the headlight assembly by diconnecting the headlight sockets, remove the 10mm bolts above each headlight assembly. Remove the 10mm bolts below the headlight assembly. Done.
you have to remove the two screws on top of the headlight assembly then you have to reach under the headlight between the headlight and the bumper and pull it out.i'd use a piece of cloth to cover the chrome on the bumper this vaw you don't scratch it.once you pull out the assembly then unplug it and change the bulbs you want..
To replace the whole headlight, the bumper has to be taken off of the 00 Celica. No way around it. =\
# Remove the front bumper cover # Remove the upper headlight housing mounting bolt and pushpin # Remove the lower headlight housing mounting bolts # Pull out the headlight housing assembly and disconnect the electrical connector
there is 3 10 or llmm nuts on the back of the headlight assembly, then once that is removed there will be 4 torx screws that hold the headlight trim in place, once these are removed then bumper fillers can be installed.
I have been an auto tech for 20 years! The entire headlight assembly unscrews out of the front of the bumper. press on the headlight from the front and turn it counterclockwise to release it from the bezel!
You have to take the bumper out. Watch for hidden clips behind the bumper and work slowly. After removing the bumper taking headlight assembly out is as easy as removing couple of screws. Before you do that make sure you check both the bulbs and fuses for the headlights. Each light has it's own fuse
