Where Is The Last Screw On The Headlights! Removing 2G headlight [Merged 1-9]

Quick question, how did you took your headlights off the car? I still can't find the last screw and it must be under the headlight, do I have to take the bumper off? I really don't wanna take the bumper off, because its going to be a pain to put it back.
 
You won't have to take the bumper off. The last bolt you are looking for is most likely the one nearest the most visible bolt on top. Take the round cover off like you are going to change the bulb and look under it. You should be able to see the last bolt. If you have already found that bolt then there should be two on other end of the housing near the fender on either side. One is kind of tucked up near the top of the fender.

Taking the bumper off is the only proper way to access the last bolt under the headlight. You will also risk damaging the paint on the bumper when you try to removing the housing.

Many people do not know the proper steps to remove the bumper so here it is for a stock bumper. If someone has had the cover off already then chances are it won't have many of the bolts re-installed.

2G Bumper removal steps
 
You can use a ¼" extension and a flex to get to the bottom bolt. Use a rag on the bumper, do it on a warm day, and run between the bumper and the lower edge of the headlight lens.
 
There is also one bolt in the fender that hold them one if I remeber correctly. I would just take the bumper off to make it easier.
 
the green blitz coment i beleve was about the fast and the furious mitsu eclipse

This has got to be the most offensive first post I've ever seen.

It's "comment" and "believe". The first letter of the first word in a sentence is also, traditionally, capitalized. Much like personal pronouns, such as "I".
I can't wait for your intro thread - no way in hell I'm missing that.

.....Annnnd now for an "on topic" post.
Does anyone rip the headlight out forever bypassing the 4th bolt anymore?
