Okay, I've been trying to get this last bolt out and I simply can't get it off. I've tried using a screwdriver head and a 10mm socket and I can't get either to seat on the bolt so I can unscrew it.
Any tips so I can be successful?
I'm trying to get the headlights out so I can do the Mini Morimoto RetroQuik Xenon swap.
I considered taking the front bumper off so I can get access to that bolt... but I failed at that, too. I referenced the .jpg file
here and the fail happens at step 2d in the Removal section. I'm sticking the taped screwdriver into the seam and prying it open (pushing down a little... creating probably a 1cm gap or a bit more) but I don't see how it's going to release.
Anyway... if anyone has any tips I'd be grateful... I have tomorrow to get this done. Or if you live in the Edmonton (Canada) area and could help me out that'd be super awesome and I'd have to buy you pizza or something.
Thanks.
