Im trying to take my bumper off my 98 GST but its impossible I feel like a retard because I cant get it off. There is a screw under the headlights that is impossible to get to. How do I remove the headlights and front bumper I looked on Vfaq and never found anything. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

the 5 bolts on top, wheel well ones, underneath ones.

Then the headlights have like 4 screws each, it's not hard man.

remove tirewell covers in the front of the tire well; this will allow you to get to the rear most bumper bolt
there's another bolt towards the front of that one, we got to them from underneath the car, with several long extensors coupled.
then there should be about 8 plastic clips that look like bolts, though they are not, 4 on the top of the bumper and 4 on the lower part of the bumper, where it goes into the opening for air, the fishmouth.
we had OEM foglights, so there were 4 more bolts holding lights/bumper together. that was pretty much it.
lights are total pain to get out. openings are very narrow and you have to wiggle them out just right. LOT OF CASSING was done. there are 3 bolts that hold them in place, 2 are to the very far ends of the headlights, next to tirewells. the very far corner bolts are very hard to get to, find someone with very small hands to fit into tiny spaces, plus some contorcionism is necessary. we had bumper off and on twice, then replaced it with aftermarket one again, so after 2nd run it goes quite fast. but no, it is NOT an easy job. matter of fact, NOTHING on those cars is easy. i just changed gear oil in 2G, and i'd have tourtured designers heavily for where they stuck the refill plug.
