Just in the process of changing my headlights. Removing the front bumper had gone swimmingly until......trying to release the sides where they clip in. Checked on several other forums and youtube videos and they say 'unclip or unlatch' or 'it's a swine'. The only advice I can find is to stuff a screwdriver in there to release the clips then pull. That sounds like a recipe for breaking the bumper or damaging the wing. Any advice would be very welcome. Thanks.

Re: 407 front bumper removal
Thanks for the reply Marc, just about to open a celebratory beer. Really didn't want to prise the bumper off so I stuck a 10mm long reach socket on a 3/8 extension up inside the wing and unscrewed the bumper retaining bracket sufficiently to be able to ease it away from the wing, thus releasing the bumper. New lights are now in. CT next week. Fingers crossed.
