Question Headlight removal and front bumper

I am replacing my driver side headlight. I understand you need to remove the bumper. Can some one tell me how to remove the bumper? Any diagrams out there? I assume once that is off the headlight is a matter of unscrewing three bolts?

To remove Head lamp assy the follow the instructions in sequence.
1. First Remove the Radiator Support Seal on the Upper side.
2. Secondly Remove the front Bumper Guard
3. Thirdly Remove the Front Fender Liner LH & RH Side.
4. Then you remove the Bumper cover.
5. Then remove hood to Front end seal.
6. There are 3 screw retaining the Headlamp Assy. Two Screw at the top End and 1 screw at the Bottom left. Unscrew them.
7. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors to the bulbs.
8 Now you should pull the headlamp forward, this will disengage from the clasps connectors holding at the sides.
9. Now to remove the bulb( there are 3 bulbs) , you need to rotate it anti clockwise ( there is arrow marking on the holder itself) and then pull it off towards yourself.
10. Replace the headlamp.
11. Fix it the reverse as I have explained to you.
12. Ensure the wiring harness is properly connected and locked tight.
thats about it.
so long!!

Default Thank you, Bumper guard?

Thank you for the complete description. Is the bumper guard the metal piece on the underside of the car tieing into the bumper? Thanks, Al
