Unhappy Do I need to remove bumper to replace headlight? Anyone know how?

My 2000 Celica driver's side headlight is foggy and yellow-looking. I'm thinking of replacing it. Does anyone know how this is done? Do I need to take off the whole bumper? Is this something I can do myself?...a girl who hasn't done a lot of mods? I just changed out my tail lights by myself and found it to be easy. But the headlights could be a different story. Is there something I can do to my existing headlight to clear it up? Thanks for any help

Yes you do have to remove the entire front bumber just to change the lights, sux but oh well... It really shouldnt be very difficult to do yourself. If i can remember correctly there are a few clips on top and you will probably need a 10 or 12mm wrench, That should be it. Just crawl under there and start removing the bolts

Yes, you really have to remove the bumper but first, make sure that you disconnect all the wires connected to the headlights. You may also have to remove the corner lights, grills and screws. It may be difficult at first but it would surely be much easier the nest time you do it. Go girl!
