Default remove rear bumper

Can anyone give me instructions on how to remove the rear bumper from a WRX wagon? I think I have to remove the rear light clusters before I can get at all the fixings but I am not sure.

Please help....Got a nice shiny new bumper and no idea how to fit it!!!!

I think I will go the bolts route. Is it 3 or 4 bolts under the car holding it all in? Not sure which ones to undo. I have some going through the exhaust mounts, and two more further up the car on the same side (O/S) and two on the other side. Should I be removing all of them? I have been told that if I get it right, the whole bumper assembly with slide out....

You didn't really let your wife drive it did you??????
