IS not hard, You have to take like what, 10 or 15 of the 10mm bolt out to take off the front bumper. then u just locate the light, *twist* and it will come out.

Uhhh... Please don't listen to NYCGPS advice....

There is no need to remove the front bumper.

The DYI thread will be most helpful. However, I've found that there is no need to completely remove the spash guard. Just undo enough to bend back the splash guard and you'll be fine.

Well you dont HAVE to, you can reach it from under tray, or the cover like the DIY saids.

but I found that when u take the bumper off, u might as well clean some unexpected things trapped around the area.

DUH

if you really take your bumper off, you might as well spray some engine cleaner in the A/C condenser and water all the dirt and **** out.

You probably gonna find some dead animal around the area. lol

Happened to me.
