Without breaking?....nope. I have one that in a nutshell involves trying to remove, breaking, dealer trip to order replacement part. Struggling with installing. taking it to the dealer to fix. Time to fix? 5 days. Cost to fix? $400. If you want my instructions. lemme know.

Use the tool in the tool kit to remove the headlight and follow the procedure in the Owners Manual.

You can download a later model Owners Manual here - the headlight removal procedure is the same.

Your tools should be in pouch inside the spare tire.
