Default Front turn signal bulb out, flasher out too?

Hey guys, my left front turn signal bulb blew out on my 2002 Camaro. I have the bulbs to replace it but one issue I am running into is, how to get to the deaed bulb. I have done lots of searching and have come up with the conclusion that I need to remove the headlight assembly. I can free the headlight assembly from one of the adjustment screws, but there is another adjusment screw towards the fender of the car, at the bottom of the headlight that will not disconnect from the headlight. I did not see any bolts holding the screw onto the headlight. Am I missing something or am I going about this wrong?

I also noticed that inside the car, when you try to engage the turn signal, the arrow on the dash stays a solid green. And the rear turn signal lights up and stays solid, which according to my research could mean my relay/flasher is also out, which I have little idea as to what or where that is.

If a bulb is out on one side, the dash signal indicator will stay solid green.

Ok, thanks for that. I am still having trouble getting to the bolts holding that lense on. Am I supposed to access them from under the car and removing the plastic shroud underneath the front, or by removing the headlight?
