Driver side headlight housing removal help!

[Dirtybird]

Hey guys, I am trying to remove the housing completely to replace. I’ve looked everywhere online and can’t seem to find anything detailed. I have both of the top bolts out and the third that comes in the side behind the bumper. Also the plastic pin or clip that is under the headlight is loose from its hole. It’s now loose but still won’t come out. Does anyone know what else needs to be done? Does the bumper skin have to come off ? Thanks for any help

Yes, the front fascia needs to be removed.

Follow these steps. Then remove the pieces on the ground in Blackcats photo (2 nuts and 1 bolt). I kept trying to wiggle the light out but it’s impossible until you pull those supports.

It’s not too bad, I replaced both in about 90 minutes taking my time and I’m no mechanic haha.
