1. open hood
2. remove five bolts that are in the hood latch area
3. remove plastic screw things out of splash guards in each wheel well(only the ones that connect the bumper to the splash guard)
4. remove two bolts on each side that connect bumper to fender
5. bumper is off

1.) stop using all caps
2.) plz speak english
3.) you can PROBABLY just flex the bumper down a little and access the screw(s) you need in order to remove the headlight assembly. be careful though...

CAPS LOCKS = FLAMES!

And for the millionth time, you DONT NEED to take off your bumper. grab a flat head, wrap a rag around the tip, place it betwwen the top of your bumper and the bottom of the headlight, push down on the handle. It will press the bumper downard and give you enoough space to get that pesky bolt. You'd be amazed how much the stock bumper can bend.

Here's the way it's supposed to be done properly.

Step by step with pics. Go to this link and look about halfway down the page for the tech topic.

No need to cause stress cracks in the paint and tear out those two bolts under the headlamps. Do it this way once and then take whatever short cuts you want later.
