You have to take the bumper off. There are 3 you get from behind the headlight and one from the front of the car. Trust me, you cant get the headlight out without taking the whole bumper off. Even if you can get the bolt out you cant get the headlight out.

All the bolts under the front, the clips in the front on the top of the mouth part. Clips in the wheel well, and the 2 bolts right above the side markers on the inside. And 2 more clips under the headlights.

Just find a screw driver that fits them good so you dont strip them out and they are easy. It should take you about an hour or two the first time. I can have mine off in like 10 min tops, but I dont have those 9 screws on the bottom of mine anymore.

I told you I am not moving any more of your threads. You can make a new one in the correct spot, or I will continue to lock the misplaced threads. This is clearly an exterior question, put it in that subforum.
