ok it lined up big deal, you DONT hav to unbolt them in the first place, let me rephrase that, youe SHOULDNT unbolt them in the first place, your trying to save some time doing something the WRONG way!!!!! 1 piece, 2 piece whatever it is just remove the bumper, your bumper isnt much differnt to remove, they have the same mounting points. TOUCH UP!!!!!!!!! what is this a kia were talkin bout, crawl back into your little hole, H*MO!!! idk of any GUYS that say "Whatever" at the end of a hateful comment!!!!!what, you gunna tell me to talk to the hand next. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if you are a girl, plz excuse my language and i take back everything i said, your right, im wrong)lol

I am getting the halo headlight soon.I just wondering what kind of light bulbs do we use for the high/low beams and parking light? I wanted to change to a brighter color halogen one, but not sure if the stock light (H7) will work for these? Also, you guys know any good light bulbs for headlights? I kind of want to get the bright one.

Believe me its simple, heres the instructions on removing the bumper from the how to section:
Remove Front Bumper:
You'll need an 8 and 10 mm ratchet, a 13 mm open ended and a phillips head screw driver.
1. You need to detach the fog light splash shields from the car (you can leave them attached to the bumper) using the screwdriver.
2. Using the 8mm, disconnect the 4 bolts around the headlights.
3. With the 10mm ratchet, remove the bolts on either side of the bumper where it meets the fender (near the wheel).
4. To access the next two fasteners, you'll need to remove the side marker and part of the impact strip (or remove it from underneath the car). They're elongated bolts with a 10mm head on either side of the bumper. Loosen them until they drop down but don't remove them from the bumper.
5. Finally, remove the front fan shroud and you'll be able to access the two 13mm nuts. Remove them.
6. CAREFULLY remove the bumper (it is advised to have 2 people do it so that you don't scratch the fender with the sides).
7. If you didn't disconnect the wiring and temperature sensor from below before removing all the hardware, then disconnect everything before you pull the bumper very far off the car.
Make sure to organize the bolts so that you know where they go back. I drew a picture of the front of the car on a pad and placed the bolts on there so I remembered.
It should take about 40 minutes the first time. The bumper is quite light, so it should just slide out. If it doesn't, then you forgot some bolts. Compliments of Josh K and str8ridin
