Front Passenger Side Parking Sensor DIY Needed

Hi,

Need to change Front Passenger Side Parking Sensor, does the bumper cover have to be removed to achieve this? Maybe just remove the headlight assembly to get at it.

Any info would be great.

Thanks,
Frank

Typically the bumper would need to be removed, but if you can access it by removing the head light or the passenger side fender lining, then go for it. 👍🏽

Except to remove the headlight, the bumper has to come off....

If you look at the diagram, you can access the outer most sensor (Position 158) through the wheel well....all other sensors sit within the bumper cross-member reinforcement bar, so the bumper cover is required to be removed....

Hope this helps.

Thank you, any info on removing the left kidney grill? That may be the closest point.
