how to remove front bumper

I was wondering how to remove the front bumper.... I read the forum about taking out the front bumper to take out the headlights but I was wondering if someone could give me a more detail instruction on taking out the front bumper. Like where the screws are located, what kind of tools needed, and an estimate of how many screws that needs to come out. If anyone knows please help me out, Thank you

After I remove my bumper I will take picture on how I did it but I need help first..

I need that info as well. I want to do my headlights. Someone needs to update the "Tech" section. There are soooo many things that could be added. Someone email Randode, ill bet he would do it.

Each side of wheel well. 2 screws and 1 clip. (1 screw oon edge of well and 1 on the bottom of well)
Top of bumper 2 screws and 1 clip.

Each headlight assembly 3 screws (i think)

Make sure you remove the sockets from the foglights, headlights and turn signals before you begin to unscrew.

You cant do it with a screwdriver because
1) some screws are too tight and u may strip the head.
2) some are bolts (12mm socket i think)

when u unscrew the bumper, the two edges where it touches the corner of the headlight assembly is very difficult to remoove without scratching the paint. (Just be patient and careful)
