Default 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan headlight assembly

Can anyone help me with instructions on how to remove the headlight assembly for a 2008 Grand Caravan, not the bulb? I started to replace the assembly when I noticed that there may be at least two screws on the bottom part of the assembly. Do I need to remove the front bumper to change out the headlight?

Thanks in advance,
Don

Welcome to DF

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Complete removal of the front fascia is necessary to remove the front lamp unit.




3. Remove the three retaining bolts (1).




4. Remove the 4 retaining bolts (3) from the front lamp/fascia support bracket and remove the bracket.
5. Pull the front lamp assembly forward to access the rear of the unit.
6. Disconnect the turn signal, marker lamp, headlamp and High Intensity Discharge Lamp (HID) connector, (if equipped) and remove the front lamp unit from its mounting.
