Removing front bumper

[sor118]

Hey y'all, I'm in the process of replacing the terrible stock rectangular fog lights on my 98 Limited with some nice aftermarkets with H3's from eBay that fit perfectly and will put out a lot more light. It would be a lot easier if I removed the front bumper. Other than the obvious 2 screws on each side in the wheel well, can anyone tell me what other screws/bolts do I have to remove to get this done?

Thanks in Advance!

There are 4 bolts that hold the bumper to the frame horns.. I believe they are 19mm or something like that.. Remove those bolts and the bumper should be free other than wiring from the fog lights.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

They are 18 mm on my '99.

Don't forget one important step..........disable the air bag..........do it right!

Or.....you'll be sorry.

There are no airbag sensors in the bumper.. They are in the above the bumper behind the grille right by the headlights.

OK......though, you may still wanna disable the air bag anyway......since, you're working over there. Book warns you to disable the air bags.........it's up to you.

no need to disable the air bags.

four 18 mm nuts is all that holds them on. The screws in the side just hold the cover to the bumper.
