Quickly, how do I remove my front bumper?

I got all the screws and it looks like there is one behind my headlights which I can't seem to remove either. How do I get the front bumper off? It looks like its gonna rain- .

the front bumper cover....Theres bolts along both sides by the 1/4 panels and 5-7 screws in the top, thats should pop off. The screws under the headlight just tie the bumper cover into the headlight bar, you can take the headlight bar off with the bumper cover. May be some bolts for the headlight bar i think there is. Try that.

I think I'm giving up. The bumper cover bolts to the front fender. There is no way I can get my hand in there even after removing most of the headlight. Its really tough.

pull the 6 inch wide plastic piece from inside the wheel well, then it is a strait shot with a socket and extension

That's something you should psot a pic about!

I got the bolts that hold it to the front of the fender by reaching into the fender through holes in the engine bay (I'm triple-jointed) and from below the air dam underneath once I got some insiginifcant plastic pieces out of the way.
