91 sedan headlight assembly help

[raracah]

Hi everyone,
Recently I bought a 1991 Corolla sedan for my 17-year old to drive. Both headlight assemblys are loose because of broken plastic pieces where they mount. I'm trying to remove the whole assembly, but can't get to the bottom screw/bolt. Is there a step by step process to remove this thing? Is it one of those "you have to take off this part to get to that screw and then this part to get to that screw" kind of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

Study the front bumper assembly...I'm not sure if you have to remove the bumper in order to remove the headlights....

Thanks for the response. I messed around with it tonight and eventually found success. I had to loosen the molding that runs between the bumper and the headlights (it's about an inch wide). To get to some of the screws, I had to remove the side running light assembly (2 screws). By loosening this molding, I was able to insert a flat bladed screwdriver under the headlight and pop off the black insert that holds the headlight to a post. There are two more of these that are accessable from the top, but it was this bottom one that had me stumped. Not any more!

Thanks for your help...I'm sure I'll need more.
