The front bumper? After you unclick the sides (they come out real weird) take out the center grille (just yank it out) and look up from the ground. You'll see two hex lag bolts; they're 6mm and about 12 miles long. Unbolt and pull bumper off.

Edit: When I put the bolts back in they didn't seem to thread into the urethane on the snub mounts. I used teflon thread tape to make them grab and hold.

Luck? I said look.

On the Valeo ones (not sure about yours but it should be similar) there should be a white colored tube behind each of the headlights. You'll see that there's a part where you can adjust by putting in a hex wrench or a screw driver.

There should be two of these tubes on each headlight. One for the high beam and one for the low beam. Make sure you adjust the right one.
