5.5 Gen Fender Removal

I searched but can't find anything on how to remove a 5.5 gen front fender (passenger side).

2 bolts under the car behind the wheel
2 bolts behind the door (open door to remove)
3 bolts up to under the hood
a bolt or two behind the headlight (remove headlight)
2 bolts up under the car connecting the bumper to the fender
and all the little screws in the fender well with the splash guard

It should come off....most or all bolts are 10mm

The headlight is a major PITA...can't figure it out. Due to thieves visiting the forum I know this isn't public info.

We've made it public info now.

HIDs are as expensive as buying SilverStar bulbs ($40)
