Default Removal of front bumper

Hey folks,
I've searched through the threads and couldn't find the answer I was looking for.. so here goes...

I'm replacing my headlamps (entire units) and need to remove the bumper before I can get the lights out. There's a row of screws along the underside of the front bumper. What else do I need to do/unscrew/etc to remove the front bumper?

I found this thread below which has a nice picture, but it's not really clear how far I have to go to get the headlamps out.

Thanks for any help,
Hando

There are two screws (one on each side) close to the top edge of the bumper, which are accessed through the front wheel wells. The screws can be reached with a long phillips screw driver without removing the black liners, if you poke throught the joint/lap/seam.

There is also a row of screws under/near the grill in the front. Open the hood and look down between the radiator and the grill.
I am not sure if they need to be removed to sperate the bumper or the plastic shell.
