Yeah, you have to remove the bumper, because there is 2 bumper holder brackets (one below each headlight), that get in the way of removing the headlight from the housing. Other than that, there are only 4 bolts/nuts that hold the headlight in place.

2- atop the radiator support (obvious)
1- Behind the corner lens (1 nut)
1- down the hole in the upper radiator support directly inboard of the headlight as viewed from above (1 nut)
Then remove the bumper (7 screws & two bolts)
Then remove the bumper retainer (2 bolts)
Then remove the headlight (slids right out)

Good luck...

Now thats a garage...

If those upper screws are rusted on, vice grips work wonders. Only problem is your screws will be ugly.
