Default Bumper coming off - what to do?

I have a washer tank or hose leak I can't find. I need to remove the front bumper to get a look at the tank, pumps, and hoses to see if I can fix it. While it's off I may as well install fog lights in the bumper. (I know I'll also need a new switch to get the front fogs to work.)

Any other work I should do while I'm in there?

probly gonna do this to ours in the spring, fog lights , need headlight switch for fogs, fog housings, trim rings , harness and the screws and speed clips to hold the lights in, the inside of the bumper is factory marked for the cutouts, foglights should plug in behind the pass side headlight , remove headlight you will see the plug


you need to remove the front flares to pull the bumper cover, might want to locate the special 2 piece fasteners they desintagrate

Yes, I read some posts on doing the lights (probably yours). Good call on the fasteners - I'll try to get them ordered today. Nothing worse than not being able to get it back together because of broken clips.

The clips are 2 piece, one piece looks like a plastic washer, that's the part that breaks

My 05 thread has pic with bumper off

If its a washer tank leak its usually from the seam, I ended up fixing mine with a soldering iron. People on some forums says it cannot be fixed and you should just buy a new one, but the soldering iron works, it did on mine. You just remelt the seams with the iron.
