2002 Toyota Celica How To Remove the Front Bumper. 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 should all be the same or similar. Removing the front bumper on a 2002 Celica is a necessary step before tackling headlight replacement. While aftermarket bumpers can vary, the process generally involves a few key steps. Look for bolts along the front panel and under the bumper. Phillips screws are common, and some may be missing or replaced with zip ties. In this case, a cutting tool was used to remove a stubborn zip tie. Be prepared to peel back the fender liner to access a hidden 10-mil bolt. Carefully removing the front bumper will make headlight access significantly easier. Got car questions? Comment below and our team will try their best to answer.
