difficult? easy? Tips? Ekta or Bentley pics?

I need to take a look at some wiring down by my IC and I tried getting to it by removing the headlight, inner fender liner and underbelly pan but can't seem to get to it. Thinking I'm gonna have to remove the front bumper. Any help - pics - diagrams etc. is appreciated.

2 allen bolts lined up above the center air dam. big ones. Those bolt through the beam. they have a lot of threads too, so be patient. Then pull the fender liner back in the wheel well. If you have a couple extensions for a socket wrench you can do this without removing the wheel. just turn the wheel inside the fender on the side you are working on. It's a 10mm nut. The bolts are mounted to the bumper. 3 on each side. then pull the bumper off and disconnect the quick release for the headlight washers on the main hose. then unclip the wire harness. Both of those connections are on the drivers side.

Good luck. I would give bentley pics, but I'm at work.

If I remember correctly, there are 4 nuts per side where it attaches to the fenders, and the two main bolts.. Thats pretty much it from there.. Taking mine back off tomorrow to do some stuff. Pretty easy, but a little scary if you haven't wrenched on your new car yet!

I distinctley remember 3 nuts on each side for my car. this was less than a week ago.
