It's been a while. I took off the cover(painted piece). I took off the plastic wrap around piece. I removed the glass and metal headlight piece. Turn the sockets counter clockwise to remove. Take your time and it really is not that hard.

Open the fender wells and loosen take the bolts out of the top of your fenders too. Then you should be able to reach inside disconnect the light and then lift the fender up to pull it out. Its pretty simple. I suck at writing step for step instructions but its really simple.

No you do not have to remove the front bumber if you do not want to. It is almost impossible to mess that alignment up. I pulled it up when I put the headlight back in and dropped the fender back down they were right on track then I just put the screws back in.
