You have to loosen or just about take the front fascia off and loosen the fender in order to get the headlight assembly out.

Search the General and Tech secton for headlight removal and there will be several threads about it some with pics.

RLSebring is right. The headlight is held down with 3 or 4 10mm nuts.

If you dropped it in the housing I'd try the following before attempting to remove the headlight.

Remove the tire and set the car on a jack stand. Use a straw type magnet found at tool supplies or maybe even autoparts or hardware stores. There are skinny flexible magnets that can fit inside. I'd use one of those to try and get it out.
