Headlight removal 2009

After driving my car for a couple of weeks I noticed the passenger side headlight is adjusted to high. After looking over the car closer I found that the headlight is not in the proper place. So what I want to know is how to remove the headlight? From what I have learned is that I have to remove the bumper first? How to remove the AMG bumper?

Can't you just move it from within the area where you'd replace the bulb? Unscrew the cover and move the projector with your hand

I have my headlights out right now. Unfortunately I'm not the one who removed them. I go back on Monday to have them reinstalled so I will let you know the process. I do know that a partial bumper removal is needed

But our headlights are self leveling, doesn't it means that it should still have to be at the same level ?

Yes, But only if they are in range.

The front end seems to have been damaged and not repaired. Or not repaired properly. The gaps around the headlight are not even. You can see where one headlight assembly is physically pointed higher than he other.
