Hello,

You have 4 bolts to remove.
You have the 1st one at the top of the headlight.
Then you have the second one on the inner side of the headlight,
This bolt retains the bumper as well.
The 3rd one is on the outside of the headlight, behind the fender.
To remove this one, you have to remove the mood flap guard, to remove the screw that retains the bumper.

For the last one, it is a screw under the headlight.
This little screw if for the headlight whasher (nozzle).
After unscrewing it, just push back the nozzle, and it will be separated from headlight.

Then you'll be able to pull out the headlight.

Regards,
Frenchy.

To get a headlight assy out... you do have to remove the lower front bumper cover.

"TheFrenchy" is correct with his directions of the headlight's bolts removal.

Good luck.
