Headlight removal

I searched the topic and found one post with a response that didnt help me. I took out the two 10mm on the top then the one the inside where the grill would be and then the one under the car where the air box was for a total of four bolts removed and I still cant seem to get it out. It seems to be sticking somewhere near the fender. Let me know what Im missing here. Thanks

there is another bolt under the heatlight, you have to go up through where the fender splash guard is. Look up through were the bumper lights are and you should be able to see it, it is a bitch!!!

i just blacked out my headlights a couple days ago. I had to remove the bumper to get them out, (actually i just loosened up the four bolts on each side that supported it. I had to go throught the front air dam on the bottom to loosen them.)

I got one out from going from the bottom, the head of the screw was pointed towards the fender on that one. Is there another one on the bottom of the light? for a total of 5 screws?

I found all the 10mms that last one was a bitch and a half. But the light wont come out with out taking off the bumper. I dont have time for that right now but I will know for next time. For the bumper are there just those 4 10mm or are there more somewhere?
