You mean this in step 8?

8. There are two clips under the light housing that used to hold the bumpers, pop them up with a screw driver will help you on moving the light forward.

those to clips hold the bumper in place, i am talking about a clip right under the headlight, located at the corner closest to the grill.

[Ashhong]

they are used to hold the bumper in place, but they also keep the headlight from coming out. u need to push down on it while u pull them out. y dont u take a picture.

I just removed my bumper and headlights to swap in some "chromed" signal bulbs. This tutorial was very helpful, and as usual I have my own input:

Between steps 8 and 9 when the headlights are unbolted, the bumper clips are removed, and the headlights are pulled forward a bit, you need to pull upward on the grille-side of each headlight to release them from gray plastic clamps. I pulled forward on my driver-side light and broke the plastic clamp but pulled upward on the passenger-side light and had no problems.

This was very helpful. It seriously took me like 15 minutes to pull both headlights out.
