[QUOTE="ORVietVet, post: 21904, member: 9438"] Replaced both headlamp assemblies on this 2017 Outback. Involved complete front bumper facia removal, detach fog lights, remove brackets that the facia clips press in to so that they snap out and back in to place, found that someone had to be in there before because one of the bracket bolts were missing. Found a replacement bolt and installed. The rest of the attaching bolts are black and my replacement bolt is grey. Also found that an attaching bracket across the top had not been reinstalled as should have been. You can see where there was no shadow of where the bracket tabs should have been and where I realigned and set tabs as should have been. Some sloppy previous work. All that is required to remove the bumper facia is clips removal. Rest of work went as planned, see pics: Some pics are out of order but you will figure it out.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20250309_104309.jpg"]2323[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20250309_104337.jpg"]2324[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20250309_104342.jpg"]2325[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20250309_110552.jpg"]2326[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20250309_112436.jpg"]2327[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20250309_101521.jpg"]2320[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20250309_102602.jpg"]2321[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20250309_104259.jpg"]2322[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
