Default Removing a headlight - '01 LS430

Does anyone here know how to remove a headlight on LS430? I need to change the marker bulb on the driver's side and can not get to that bulb without removing the headlight. That bulb cost a dollar and I don't feel like letting a repair shop try to figure out how to do it. So, what it looks like to me, is that the headlight needs to come off. I can see 2 screws that I need to take off. 1 on the bumper under the plastic cover, which I removed, another one on the top, on the fender. By just removing those 2 screws, the headlight still does not come off, although it feels loose. Seems like there is something else holding it. May be there is another screw that I can't see. Does anyone have any instructions? I would appreciate if someone has any advice. I am going crazy with that stupid bulb. Thanks.

There should be a couple bolts on the back side of the headlight, accessable from the inner fender...

I'll try to submit a pic of it. I never though it would be so tough to change this light bulb, but I just can't get to it. I've always changed the light bulbs myself on all my cars, but this one is unbelievable.
