EVO 8 MR HID replacement

I searched but i could not find anything. I was wondering how you guys replaced your HID's on the VIII MR...I heard you have to take your wheel and wheel well liner off...and i also heard you have to take your front bumper off? that doesn't sound right though...
So if anyone has pics or helpful advice i would greatly appreciate it! thanks!

you just gotta take the front bumper off, then you can get at all the bolts for the headlamp assembly. there are like six bolts and about 25-30 pop rivets to remove. search for the how to, but it's very easy. REMEMBER not to just yank on the facia, because there are two pop deals near the headlamps. if you break those, you could have some sag.

It's very simple, I had mine off within 15 minutes of starting to remove bolts. It's one of the easiest bumpers to take off IMO.

not too hard to take the bumper off. no need to remove the wheels, just turn them one way or the other to get to the clips and bolts in the wheel well.
