This is to replace one headlight assembly at a time without completely removing the fascia. It's only a little more work to completely remove the fascia if you're doing both headlamps.
First, turn the wheel opposite the side you are removing. So if you are replacing the left (driver's side) headlight, turn the wheel all the way to the right. This gives you room to work.
Remove the plastic retainers and screws from underneath. There is another 10mm bolt above the bottom plastic piece, not shown here.
Now reach inside the wheel well with your 10mm socket and...
You should now have enough room to get to the lower-center bolt I used a flexible 3/8" extension, and a t-shirt to protect the paint.
Remove the outer bolt through the wheel well. There are two bolts here, you want the one furthest forward.
A 10mm socket on a 3" extension fits perfectly.
Finally remove the inner two bolts.
Now unplug the bulbs and wiggle the assembly free... Viola!
