Default Removing headlight assembly

Hello all. I am trying to replace my stock halogen bulbs with some PIAAs that I picked-up. Figured they would be a little better for night driving.

In any event, I have taken the headlights out once before to replace a burnt out bulb. I know there are the three torx screws (2 on the top and 1 underneath) and I have been able to take the headlamp out with ease in the past. For some reason, and I don't know what the hell it is, I can't seem to get the assembly to come out. Am I missing something? It seems odd only because I've done it before, and it was never this difficult. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks.

You are missing the last torx srew, there are 4 total. Two on top, one behind the low beam and one on the inner side of the headlight. I'll try to get a picture for you

The top screws are obvious, and the arrows point to the general location of the bottom ones:

I honestly don't remember there being four torx screws the last time I went through this. Thanks so much for the heads-up. I appreciate it. What year vehicle is the picture of?
