Sad thing is many are like that. Same thing happened to me when I had my Accord. Dumbest thing ever if you ask me.

My friend’s elantra required me to remove the airbox and battery in order to replace his.

it’s not really that uncommon. Wait do you mean the whole headlight or just the bulb?

Thankfully, the bumper on my TrailBlazer occasionally falls off, so I don’t have to worry about that.

Have to give volvo credit here: I pull one pin and the whole headlight assembly comes out. Reallly easy.

Most cars and some crossovers require this. I had to help a friend do one on his recent (2013?) Malibu and we had to remove the bumper AND fender. F.U. G.M.

I did a polish on mine and decided to pop them out rather than risk my (already pretty crappy) paint. I will never get them level again.

Subaru Impreza WRX STi’s (wow, that is a long name) are the same way. As an added bonus, the “rivets” on the top corner of the bumper cover are permanent, so you have to break them to remove the bumper skin.
