Help removing wheel well

So, my front light is condensing, most likely because I didn't screw in the rear cover tight. I do not want to take off the front bumper and then go for the headlights.

What's the proper way to remove the wheel well cover so I can easily access the rear of the light?

I figured removing the cover is much less work than going for the bumper, then the headlight bracket, and finally the headlights themselves

I went to the DIY section and found this before I came here and my question is, do I have to remove the screw that is holding the bumper near the top? It was a huge PITA for me to put it back for some reason.

Yes, the two screws at the top of the forward wheel well liner need to be removed as well to get the liner out. When you put it back, remember the wheel liner you took out inserts behind the upper portion where the upper screws are.
