If you're mechanically inclined, read Buellwinkle's "how to" on removing the front bumper:

LINK: How to Remove Bumper by Buellwinkle (Hope you don't mind Buellwinkle).

If you're not mechanically inclined, please contact Steve (MBenzNL) for upgrades (clear halogen and/or BIX).

You do NOT have to remove the front bumper to replace the headlight bulb....which is what I think he's asking. He said headlight......but I think he means bulb.

Read your owners manual towards the end. It really depends on whether or not you have regular Halogens or HID.

If that's the case, should use the search using "replace headlight bulb".

So to replace the regular old headlights the whole bumper needs to be removed? Doesn't sound too hard (I just don't have tools)-__-
I'm planning to replace mine too with some hid projector headlights. After doing that will the projector headlights work the same as the old ones with the auto switch??

Old Thread but I will answer your question.
1- yes, you will need some tools to Partially (not all the way unless you want more room) remove the bumper and be able to switch the headlight

2- if you are going with projector why not going with a H.I.D Kit with 6k bulbs for natural light

3- Yes the auto feature of the headlight switch will work the same

Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it.
I'm switching the whole headlight because I got the old ones not the newer clear lenses headlights.
This is what I'm lookin at-->
