Headlight Assembly Removal
In looking at this video it appears that there are only 2 bolts that hold the headlight assembly in. Is that correct?
I want to chage my bulbs and I've read the bumper needs to come off or to take the wheel off and go through the wheel well but if the headlight assembly is only held in with a few bolts, I will do that since it seems to be easy....unless, the headlight only comes out after the bumper is removed?
Thanks!

I just checked and the passenger side is definitely accessible from abov as I can get my hand right in there. The drivers side is what really looks tight. I didn't want to pay 3 hours of labor - which I was quoted to change 2 bulbs. I completely removed the interior in my range rover to run fiber optics, I am thinking I can change these 2 bulbs.

Time to find the neighborhood kid and offer them a few bucks to twist a couple bulbs in! I got stuck working on my car a few years ago and needed someone to pump the brakes while I bled.. I couldn't find anyone! Finally a kid walked down the street and I gave her $20 to pump the pedal while I bled the brakes.. desperate times call for desperate measures lol!
