Holy crap.. I cant imagine taking offf the bumper just to get the headlights out.. You need to use like a 5 or 6 inch extenstion for your ratchet with the same sized torx bit and the 3rd bolt is down threw that hole on each corner of the fenders by the headlight.. i dont have a pic but thats the best i can explain it. Takes me maybe 5 mins to get both out that way.

If you think you need to take the bumper off to get the headlights out, you shouldnt be working on cars.
Well maybe thats a little harsh.. But seriously what a waste of time that would be... Thats like removing your hood to change your oil.
