S60 Body/Trim: - Removing the front bumper cover - Page 3

My headlamp bulb clips have come adrift and as the local gynaecologist is busy at the mo I'll have to remove the headlamps to get access to refit them. This guide helps a lot, thanks.

good point about leaving the torx screws in the bumper to rerlease the catch .. most hhave take the screw out and pulled the bumper off and breaking the plastic!

This is very useful, does anyone know what size Torx I need to do this job? I've got the 10 and 12mm sockets but I'll need to buy the Torx.

Thanks,

Martin.

You can buy a set of torx bits for a reasonable price. This should give you all the sizes you need..

I need to replace a cracked headlamp unit so this is going to be very useful. Thank you from me, even though I have only just arrived here and did this ages ago!

Thanks for the info. Does this same procedure suit 04 S60. Previous owner gave the front bumper a knock and now the bumper return pops out on the drivers side. I can push it back in flush but after a few miles out again. I want to take a look to see if I can fix.
Thanks
