Headlight replacement with aftermarket bumper

[goVawls]

Has anyone with an aftermarket bumper replaced their headlight assemblies? I had new OEM assemblies retrofitted by Teq Customs, and am ready for install.

I’ve found in my search that with an OEM bumper, it has to be loosened to replace the headlights. Looking for someone whose done this with an aftermarket bumper to see if they pulled the whole bumper to swap headlights. I have a 2009 with a Dobinson’s bumper.

Thanks in advance!

Can’t wait to put in new OEM headlights. Mine are Florida fried.

Yours look 1,000x better than before and mine look similar to your old ones.

Thank you @tbisaacs! Just what I needed to know!

New finished housings came in today. Can’t wait to get them installed!

I had a local body shop do the install and it was straight forward. They didn’t have to remove the bumper, just took off the filler trim pieces between the bumper and headlights. Took them less than three hours total, including aiming.
