Yes. You'll have to remove the entire front bumper to gain access to the remaining bolts on the bottom of the lamp housing. Expect to spend 3hrs.

 

Please try NOT to discussed any "how to take headlights off" topics as potential thieves may be browsing here.....

Here is an online article stated 5th gen equipped with Xenons take 30 seconds for professional thieves (many other similar articles):

Robbing them blind...Pricey car lights a top target of thieves
