How to take off front bumper?
Well I'm going to be replacing my headlamps with a pair of xenons, I have all that worked out. What I need to know is how to take the bumper off, I would just hate to force it off and miss a few hidden screws or what not. Oh and my car is a 2003 (w209) CLK320

-Thanks

Here are some instructions on removing/installing the bumper, inner fender liners, and temp sensor.

Also there is a W203 DIY with some good pics

I have a separate wiring harness which I am going to be relaying.

Not exactly factory xenons, but here's what I've got so far. I'm just testing alignment and then going to be forming a shroud.

What the hell.......those are cheap looking aftermarket headlights. You can see the screws/nut and bolts inside the headlight housing.

Oh I'm not finished yet, I'm going to be forming a shroud for them. This is just initial testing for rotational alignment (so it doesn't slope to one side). After everything is good I will put a shroud/cover on and seal em. I want it to be nice and straight first like this

Its a retrofit, so I took the stock oem halogens and fit xenon projectors assemblies from a lexus rx330.
