How to remove the front bumper cover and head lamp assy '09-'13 Toyota Corolla

This video provides helpful step-by- step instructions on removing the front bumper cover and headlamp assembly on a 2010 Toyota Corolla. Model years 2009 to 2013 may be quite similar. The side marker and turn signal/parking bulbs are then replaced.

Thanks! I followed you step by step to change my lights

This was very helpful to identify all the fasteners attaching the front cowl. The 2009 has an additional panel fastener top dead center in front of the hood latch. Also, the OEM headlight assembly did not include the metal clip required for the side attachment bolt. I transferred from old to new, but only after securing the other two screws and found this third screw was not grabbing.

I did the same exact thing.. that 10mm just kept spinning and spinning..

Gracias me sirvió mucho el vídeo para hacer un trabajo

[@PlayfulCiciRex]

Great job! Thank you for the instructional video. Def helps out

Excellent video. About that screw at 3:25, I used an electric drill with a philips adapter. The quick torque motion in reverse and adequate downward pressure did the work very well. No way on mine I could have used a screwdriver without stripping the head.

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Thanks for sharing the good tip

@@TheOriginalMechanic new here do the 2010 model have clear plastic headlight covers over top that pop off

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

@@Blu-Man My 2010 does not have covers

[@Blu-Man]

It seems the previous owner must have installed no wander it's hard to see at night ima follow your how to remove the bumper and take these things off.

[@Blu-Man]

@@TheOriginalMechanic I'm new to your channel I'm a fan of your work do you make presentations weekly?

[@joemusicman64]

I have a 2013 and wish I knew the part numbers of all the fasteners. I'm missing one of the top ones, the threaded bolt with 10mm socket head. I have a diagram that shows the fasteners but it seems to be missing some fasteners or it's incorrect.

[@zoop34]

I thought I was missing a splash shield underneath my 2010 Corolla LE. Yours does not appear to have one either. Do you have a lot of room in between the radiator and front grille and have with no center splash shield underneath?

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Yes there is a lot of room, like almost a foot maybe. I didn't realize I was missing that splash shield.

[@parhamsamavati9150]

Thank you for the video. I had a car accident few days ago and now I need to change the bumper. Also, can you please tell me what is the tank that is located below the driver headlight and behind the bumper called..? Thanks

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

I think it's the washer fluid tank.

[@walterm127]

The screw at 3:25 today is extremely tight for me. I’ve used PB Blaster, sawed it down to a flat head and it still won’t turn. Is there a nut under that screw?

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

I had trouble with that one too. There is no nut. Sounds like you're doing all you can. You can't really use heat by that plastic. Good luck with it.

[@Ezdvd1]

Same here, same exact bolt. Left rubber on, used channel lock pliers. Thanks for the video, a big help

[@static_Tricolor_camry]

Those screws would be useless for people, like me who has a quick release Fastener, for lowered cars. Its faster too because you just undo, the ties and the Front bumper cover, comes right off in seconds, that's a lot of different screws, to remember which one goes where I like to keep the screws, in a certain order that way when I'm putting them back on I know where they go saves more time, and less hassle, Toyota made it so difficult, to work on their cars, when I work on my Accord, everything is so simple and easy

@ 7:00

[@The1Music2MyEars]

3:08 I cannot for the life of me figure why there are panel fasteners going through its own bumper and into nothing, lol

[@richardyap7873]

I counted 16 fasteners and you mentioned 14. You show 16 pcs too. What is right? Did I miss anything?

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

It's possible from model to model to have variations on little things like this. The important consideration is "does the cover come off?"

[@richardyap7873]

@@TheOriginalMechanic I am not talking about different model. I am talking about what you said and what you have shown does not match up.

[@sdrivegarage]

Yes 16. Still a useful video after 4 years.
