Need to remove headlamp assembly (not wheel well), help!

Need to remove headlamp assembly (not wheel well), help!
While attempting to replace a front turn signal bulb using the wheel well method, the bulb slipped out of my grasp and is now floating around inside the headlamp assembly. I've tried all manner of bendy, sticky, grabby untensils to try and fish it out, to no avail. The only recourse I can think of is to remove the headlamp assembly and tilt it like a labyrinth until the bulb is near the hole and I can grab it. Does anyone know what is necessary to remove the housing (i.e. where a hidden attachment might be)?
If there's an alternative method that you can think of for extracting this bulb that I haven't, please let me know!
Thank you!

Well, I managed to get the assembly out. I just needed to remove the bumper, as per this thread:

and the hidden fasteners were revealed...in case anyone else needed to remove their headlamp assembly.
