Default Removing headlights (acura 1.6EL)

I'm trying to apply niteshade on my headlights but im having a hard time removing the headlights from the chasity of my car. there seems to be 2 bolts on top, one on each side. I was able to remove the two tops ones and the one on the inside part of the car. The other is buried deep withing the car and cant reach it from the hood. Do i have to remove the bumber and hack at it from there or is there an easier way?

If i have to remove the bumber, how do i do that?

thanks in advance.
(spare me the technical talk, im still a newby :P)

You have to take off the bumper.

If it's anything like a civic, I'm guessing 5 when you open the hood, 2 on the bottom and one on each side, accessed through the fenderwell (you might have to turn your wheels to make it easier to remove).

Yeah should be the same. When you 1st open the hood there are 5 pop style caps, then 2-3 on the bottom of the bumper and then one on each side right at the front of each fenderwell which you will need to pull back the fender liner to access.
