Bumper Removal for a For Bulb Change?
I just spent a while under my car trying to figure a way out to get my lamps out so I could take out the bulbs in my 04 Wagon. The only way I could figure it out would be to take off the bumper.
Here are my questions in regards to an 04.
1) How do you remove the bumper.
2) Is it TRULY necessary to remove the bumper to get access to the bulbs?
Thanks all,
Chris

Neither the fog lamps or head lights require removing the front bumber. The fogs have screws that are visible from the front and then a wiring harness. Very simple to remove, the headlights are a littl more involved, but not for changing the bulbs. I hope this helps, pm me if you have any questions.

I will no doubt take you up on that offer.
It seemed all my maintenance on my civic, even my clutch change seemed more simplistic than Subaru makes their cars.
Thanks for you present and no doubt future help.

This is for the 2004 model. I looked in the book and turned to the Fog Light bulb replacement section. It said something along the lines of, this can be a complicated procedure, take your car to your local Subaru dealer for bulb replacement.

I have a similar question. I have a 2000 Impreza RS (Canadian front bumper). One of my bulbs died and i want to replace it. I take a look at the manual, and they claim that there are 2 screws holding the fog light assembly in place. I can find one alright, and reach it fine (it is right in the front), but the other screw (which i can't even see) is behind the bumper, and there is almost no way to get at it with a normal screw driver (or a wrench). It looks like i would need to remove the bumper and then unscrew the second screw. What is the best way to change that bulb?
