How do you remove the horns?
Do you really have to remove the whole bumper or is it not accessible by just removing the grill?

My thread may be helpful -
How to remove facelift grill As you can see below, the horns are visible so you may be able to remove them. Not 100% though. |

take grille out, 2x M10 bolts and both horns are out :} EDIT - just to clarify, thats on pre-FL, I am 100% sure as I did replace both this way. Not sure if FL is different.

just take off the front bumper cover it's quite easy , taking the grille out is not as easy and you may break off some of the securing tags ...

not being funny here but how is it possible? I can remove grille in about 5 seconds using butter knife, is the front bumper really that easy to come of?? (geniune question, always dreaded any jobs requiring bumper to go off as I was afraid it wont ever fit again or snap mounts)

The bumper cover is made of very good quality plastic which is softer than other lesser makes so will not break .

No need to remove headlights, when removing the bumper. I have removed mine 3 times during the last week. Removing the bumper takes only minutes after you have done it the first time and learned the process.
