theres 2 on top, 1 in the center (of the car) and 1 on the outside that matches into the fender..
im guessin you forgot the one near the center. then pull and wiggle to get it to come off the bracket...

its all good man, we all start somewhere.
my question is, how hard did you fight to get to the bolts?
but yes, the headlight sits in a little bracket type deal, and you need to have the front bumper off to take out your headlights.
