I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. I am trying to remove the bumper cover and headlight, but I am having trouble. To remove the headlight, I have to get to a bold that I can't get to without removing the bumper cover. However, to remove the bumper cover I have to remove the headlights. What do I have to do? Any suggestions will be a great help.
Thanks all.

No, you remove the bumper, then the headlights. Trust me, that's it. Oh, and I'm not really sure why you put up a poll instead of just a new topic, but I am voting for thank's all!

The Entire bumper, or just the bumper cover?

Well, I'm not sure about that. I'm pretty sure that it's just the cover, not 100% sure though.

Can I get some help here!?!?

please believe me i'm not laughing at you, but with you. it took me an entire week to remove my front bumper on my first eclipse. I just couldn't figure out how the hell to do it.

you have to reach inside the large opening past the black plastic to find the last bolt on the head lights. remove that and you can take the headlights out. then you can get the clips on the top of the bumper.

AHHH! Genious, that would explain why mine wouldn't come off when I tried to take my lights off to polish them up.
