Default EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP SOON problem with reblacing headlights

ok guys.....amatuer emergency
just removed about 12 bolts off the damn stock headlight assembly. still does not come out ... feels like there is one bolt or a clip on the bottom of the assemble somewhere's ... i cannot find any information on getting the assemble out so i can put my new ones on.... so the question is...
Do i have to take off the bumper cover to get the headlights out.?? if so ... just the cover or the bumper support as well ???? it looks like there is a screw underneath the headlight that has to come out to get the bumper cover off ... but i cannot get the light out... i really hope i can do this with out taken the bumper cover off.. please help i only have about 2 hours of daylight left ahhh !!!!

take off your front bumper and you're set... there should only be like 4 bolts holding the headlight in

ok took off the front bumper and the lights pretty much fell out. was running outta daylight and working by myself was pretty hasty trying to get everything back together. once the bumper was back on the right side is not lineing up right and im have trouble getting the lower front 4 bolts to line up correctly. I think this is due to the fact that it was dark outside by this time and i was working with a flashlight in my left hand and a socket wrench in my right in the unmoved grass after i lowered my car 1.5" ... LOL, anyways, i think i should have some better luck in the morning when the sun comes back out. just saying thanks for the advice. i wasted alot of time trying to pull the lights with the bumper on thinking the bumper would be hard as hell to get... to my surprise it wasnt too bad...
