The one piece will be a pain to remove as it does appear you'll need to take the bumper off to access that lower screw. These are one piece lights so I was able to remove the corner markers first to access that bolt.

I'll take a pic of it when I pick up new bolts on monday.

There are three torx bits that hold the main light housing in place, two on top and one on the side under the corner housing. But the corner housing just clips onto the main housing and the fender - just release the clip from the main headlight and slide the corner forward and out.
ok ill try that, any suggestions on what to use to unclip it? is it easier to detach it from the light source first, or is there enough slack?

Nope, there should be enough slack to pull the light out a ways before removing the bulb holder. There's a yellow kind of clip thing that snaps into place so the corner housing can't come unclipped and fall out; just use a flat screwdriver to pop that out (toward the middle line of the car), then push down on the clip to release it (you should be able to see/reach all of this from above the headlight; you'll see what I'm talking about once you get in there).

I'd post pics, but all I have with me right nowis my phone, and I doubt that'll be any help.
