This is my first post on 6GC. I need to replace the the high beams on my 95 hatchback, and i was wondering, do i need to drop the bumper in order to switch them or is there a way to do it without taking it off. i have the stock bumper on there and OEM headlights. one is filled up with water so i just want to replace it with the oem one for now since i am a little short on cash. Any help would be greatly appreciated

dont drop it. Youll scratch it. just gently put it on the ground after you remove it.
its not a difficult deal -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Umm...there is a lot of bolts. in general, the top, inside the fenders, inside the top of the mouth areas, underside of bumper. up to 40 bolts or something. I did my top fender bolt just using a 10mm open wrench, takes a while but didnt need a deep or extended socket. It helps though. Make sure you put grease so it is easier to put on and also easy to remove again later.
