I35 headlight question

[mindonhiatus]

Sorry if this is the wrong board, I couldn't find anywhere else to post it.

I'm just wondering how to get the clear housing for the headlight open so that I can make some minor changes to the inside of the housing?

Is it true that I'd have to take the bumper off? I would like to install some LED's along the baseline of the light.

I've found a lot of varying explanations on how to get the assembly out, some people are saying it's as simple as unscrewing the top 2 bolts and pulling hard to remove from the clip that holds it in place.

Others are saying remove the bumper cover to access another bolt (or 2), I don't want to remove the bumper cover for nothing, but I don't want too pull to hard and break the headlight assembly if it IS bolted in another spot...

Can anyone at least tell me if there are more than just the two bolts on the top of the housing?

You need to stick it in the oven and heat up the glue and separate the housings with screwdrivers and a knife.

Yes for those headlights near the radiator there is another screw underneath. you might have to go by the fogs to get to them.
