Passenger headlight removal???

Hi does anyone know the easiest way to remove passenger headlight??? My parking light bulb in the corner went out and there is no way I can remove the bulb harness without removing the headlight!!! Way to go Mitsubishi Any tips on how to remove the headlight? Do I need to remove my front bumper? I searched the forums on here and I can't get any clear instructions

Unless you have a really shinny hand, you will need to remove the bumper.

Yes you need to remove the bumper and if I remember correctly there is 4 scews that hold the light on and then you just need to pull on it and it comes right out.

Just remove the bumper. You don't want to mess up or mangle anything.

Bumper removal is not difficult at all. I have done it many times and all by myself, like a big boy. LOL.

Yup, youll prob need a 10mm socket with extention, phillips head and a clip tool would be nice but a flat head and a pair of dikes to grab the top of the clip will work....

No reason to completley remove the bumper. Turn the wheel to give yourself room and pull out some of the fender liner and you have access to the parking lights. It's cake.
