OMG!!! Where is that bolt underneath the headlight!!!????
For the life of me I can't find the hidden bolt underneath the headlight so I can remove it, can someone help? Is it underneath the low beam side? high beam side? by the turn signal?.....etc? Thanks

That thing IS a real b!tch to find.
Use a flashlight and look for a white, plastic arm (same plastic as the headlamp) coming off the headlight (over by the turn lamp). A ratchet will make things easier, but once you've got things loose just use your fingers.
And as forewarning, when putting everything back together, dont crank down the bolts until you have all of them in. I guess thats a good guideline for any job, but just the same it will make that third one much harder to line up.

Unscrew the side of the front bumper and push it down until you seed the bolt that is securing the headlight. Unscrew bolt and you are ok. I did not have to go under car to remove the headlight. Just make sure you have a long enough socket wrench. Repeat steps for the other side and your done. Took me about 15 mins to remove both headlights. I did this all while it was rainning outside and I was getting my lights cleared at Corey (redlinemax) house .
