It's very simple... take your rx-8 to the nearest Mazda dealership... there's nothing to it!

All you have to do to remove the headlight washer is to disconnect the electrical wire connector, and the supply hose. Both are by the passenger side headlight area. remove lower pan bolts, side marker lights, a few clips and bolts on the top....and it lifts right off slick as can be. Takes about half hour if you are careful

Exactly what dannobre said ... I found that I couldn't disconnect the supply hose because it started to leak wiper fluid despite clamping it ... so I left it connected to the RX8 and just had the entire bumper moved to the side of the car.

Are you doing the oil cooler screen and front air dam mod? Good idea!

I plugged it with a bolt...1/4 inch I think. Worked great. Had the bumper off for three days, and drove to the body shop with it off. If you plan on moving the car.....zip tie the lower pan to the inner fender skirts, and tie up the wires for the corners, and the headlight motor. Then nothing will rub.
