Yep, the fill tube just snaps right out. But removing the washer tank beneath it is a completely different matter.

yeah but there is absolutely no reason to mess with that unless you are installing the Ingen CAI. For lights all you will ever need to do is take out the tube

I dunno, I couldn't reach the high/low beam HID from the top. It's cover is pratically right against the wheel well. But parking lights, definitely.

i doubt youll get the LED out with any commercially available tool. that space is WAY too small. If you dont want to remove the bumper/headlight, youre gonna have to rig your own tool. Goodluck

You can drop the bumper and remove the headlight faster than you can drive to autozone.

just man up and do it.

^+1 yes. Taking out the headlight is not as hard as you'd think. The tools would've been a better fix but if it doesn't reach, just take out the light and shake it out carefully so it doesn't get lodged in a corner.
