Are these the correct and screws/bolts that you are referring to? Also I attempted to pull off the bumper by the headlight with a good amount of force and it did not budge. Are there any tricks that might help me get the bumper separated from the fender. I did grab the bumper below the clip that holds the two together. Should I pull forward, down or out to get them to separate? How about carefully prying the two apart with a screwdriver?
Just pull out in a horizontal movement away from the fender, wiggle it a little back and forth. Eventually it will come off. Do not use a screw driver - you might end up breaking those fragile brakets...
