Front Bumper Removal

[Matt5595]

Hey everyone,
So I ran into an issue the other day where a tire kicked up from the road and busted my left headlight. While this doesn't seem all that terrible it was going to cost $1700 to fix. I decided that I would take a crack at replacing the headlight myself for around $500 and pocket the remaining $1200 from insurance. As I was doing this I would have loved to have had a video or guide on how to remove the front bumper and headlight because while I consider myself mechanically inclined, I have never worked on my car before.

At this point I have already replaced the headlight, and I have to say it was WAY easier than I expected and only took an hour. Unfortunately, I ran into a problem where the 2015 headlight does not function properly in the 2016 genesis due to an added high side DRL pin. Moral of the story is... I have to replace the light again and would be happy to make a video/guide on how to do this, as I am comfortable with doing it now.

Let me know if y'all would like to see a guide on this! If there is any sort of demand at all I will take the time to create something.

I'm planning on upgrading my headlights to LED bulbs when they stop working, so a video would be very helpful, thank you.

Those Xenon bulbs last a long time so if you really want to replace them to LED’s I wouldn’t wait for them burn out.

I'd love a video

New headlight is coming in on Tuesday. I hope to have it replaced by Thursday then I’ll need a little bit of time to put a video or procedure together.
Also, working on creating a flashlight out of the salvaged headlight. Lol

Video or pics please of the procedure.

I sure would like to see a detailed description and/or video of how to take off the front bumper on my 2015 3.8 Ultimate. Need to replace from driver side HID bulb, dealer asking > $500.

I'm wanting to know how to swap out HIDs also (made a post a few days ago).
