No I didnt have to take off the bumper when I did mine but it does take a little love... It jams in there pretty good but if you are careful you can do it. If I remember correctly one side was easier than the other.

it doesnt take long at all. about 3 bolts on each side. i cant remember because it has been a few months since i did it. no need to pull the bumper. there is a bolt that attaches to the bumper on the top side that will need to be removed so to make install a bit easier. by removing the bolt, you can slip the lights in. the bolt is located on the left bottom of the light if you are working on the right headlight as you are looking at it from the front. dont forget to put a little lube or some sort of lubricant on the ball joint so you can more easily lip it into its socket.

tk is right, you do "not" have to take off the bumper, you "do" have to take out the 2 bumper bolts that are under the hood grille area. you will need to bend the back the bumper a little bit to get them out.. It was easier getting them out then in, for me anyways, be careful
