Is it possible to change the headlight lens without removing the the bumper?
Is it possible to change the headlight lens without removing the bumper or taking off the whole headlight unit? I just wanna change the lens on the right side since the left headlight has recently replaced and it look so foggy compare to a new headlight, please help!!

No, the headlight is sealed so no moisture can get in. If you did get it apart, I doubt you could put it back together again with a factory like seal. It is foggy because it's oxidized. Get yourself some stuff called Scratch X at Autozone, and rub it on the headlight, and be amazed!

People take them apart all the time, I am going to do it soon to paint some of the interior of my light black. You will be hard pressed to find a new lens for it as they are always sold as units.

No bro, not Rain X... SCRATCH X. It's made by Meguiars. Actually scratch x is for swirl marks, and light scratches in the paint, but you can use it for headlights as well, I did, and it worked great. If you want something made specifically for plastics, check out PlastX, it's made by Meguiars too. Give it a shot and save some money. PlastX is like $8 vs. Jiffy Lube $50
