Front Bumper removal, 3.2

This is asking a lot, but I need to know how to remove the front bumper. I need to replace the driver's side headlight assembly. If someone could post some instructions i'd be really appreciative.

This is for a 1997 3.2

theres one screw on each side by the tire, 2 screws on each side underneath the bumper, 2 screws near the center underneath, 5 plastic screws under the hood in the center and you also have to take off your bumper lights.

Sounds right except you don't have to take off your bumper lights. You can leave them and just unplug them when you drop the bumper cover. Don't forget, once you take off the bumper cover you have to take off the actual bumper underneath. There are three bolts on each side. Its pretty easy. Good luck!
