Exclamation How to remove headlight

Recently I replaced both parking lamp bulbs with LED's...look nice but here's where the horror begins...my passenger side old bulb fell inside the lens and after trying everything known to man, and with some help from our forum I have no options but taking out the headlight as the parking light lens also got free of it's clip in the process. How specifically do I get the headlight out and is there a video specific to the SC430?

I just did a quick internet search ("instructions on removing a SC430 headlight") and came up with this video and instructions:

Good luck and let us know how it went.

Default tab to remove the FRONT BUMPER

What is this "tab" referred to in this photo for removing the headlight, and how do you get it off?

......if I recall correctly.......there isn't a screw there, just a tab on the bumper cover & it snaps into a tab on the fender. If I'm not correct, hopefully someone will chime in soon
