Didn't take the headlights out, but my guess is once you get this far, it's pretty simple.

Just unplug the fog lights, the housing will stay attached to the bumper.

Just looked at some pics of your front bumper and it's once piece versus my standard GT. We replaced the standard lower facia (the black section) with the CS style, which is why we took it apart. It was all intact and I don't recall how the housing was attached to the bumper.

Smile Fog Lamps

I opted out for now to just remove the Fog Lamp housing. Fun but doable. The easy part is you jack up the front end remove the 6 7mm screw bolts that hold the belly pan to the front splitter. There are 2 additional deeper set 7mm inthe middle of thepan don't forget those.
In addition there are 3 philips screws at the front where you took out the 7mm screw nuts..they are very tight be careful not to strip them.
OK pan slides out..now the fun..
In a very close are the Fog lamp housing is held in place by 4 7mm screw nuts again. 3 are relatively easy on each side. the 4th which is the top right is an arm killer..you can't see it it black ..fun..
Anyway you get it out press the fog lamp in towards the engine bay from the esterior of the front bumper and out it pops..tada
The real fun will be putting that 4th screw nut in when I install the Halos..
