95' celica front bumper removal

[Squeege84]

Hey people!!! I've got a 95' celica GTS and my problem is my low beam lights have some water in it. I dont like the look of it so what I wanna do is replace it, but I dont know how to take the bumper off, if anyone has any instructions or pictures or even both on how to take the front bumper off I'd appreciate it!!!

Remove the gravel guards under the car. Then there is a dozen bolts to take off that are clearly seen. Take care removing the bumper off the many clips.... Many times when someone takes the bumper off and put it back on, it doesn't match up like it used to.

If you don't like water in your lights maybe you could get a glass drill bit and drain the water out.... Just a thought.

There is a row of plastic clips that you must take off under the hood on the top of the bumper and in the large vent on the bumper at the top of the vent.

The clips are easy to see, but there are 2 hidden nuts on each side of the bumper (4 total, I think) that need to be taken off. These nuts connect the front bumper to the front quarter panels. It's best to take out the splash guards in the wheel well or loosen to be able to reach them (as stated above).

Save the clips that you can but you can find replacements if you ruin them. Toyota dealers have them but I've found that a body shop is the best place to find the clips, just take a sample clip to them and they can give you the clips they use. The body shop is going to be cheaper than OEM Toyota clips more than likely.
