Headlight

[Fran2008t4r]

I purchased a new headlight assembly and am having difficulty installing it. Well, I should say, uninstalling the old headlight. I can't seem to access one screw that is right behind the bumper and quarter panel that holds it to the car frame. It is on a metal clip that can slide, but the screw needs to be loosened some how. I began taking the bumper off, then realized I didn't know what I was doing, so immediately stopped.

Any trick to getting that screw loose? Any installation advice or instructions would be much appreciated.

1. Removing headlights.
First you'll need to get under the hood, undo all the pinch screws and Philips screws. Then undo all the screws for the headlights ( 3 top, one under). Three of the screws are right on top of the headlight, while one is on the inner-bottom of the headlight. All these screws are grey. The last bolt is a pain in the ass, you'll have to go under the front bumper, and its way up on the outside part of the headlight. You won't be able to see it, but you can see a part of the grey headlight holding onto a bar. If you stick your hand up you'll feel two bolts, the highest one up is the one you'll need to undo. Get your socket wrench and take that sucker off. PS when you put your headlights back in you won't need to put this bolt back in.

Thanks! I guess I'll have to try it again. Don't you need to hold the other side of the bolt with another wrench? The plastic of the headlight arm blocks it.
