For anyone that has done the BHLM - did you end up putting that third headlight bolt back in (the pain in the ass one)? Or, did you leave it out like the original tutorial said you could? Thanks

What are those trim pieces you have right below the headlights?

You should be able to take out a few fasteners for the fender liners, bent it carefully out of the way, and access the lower bolt from there.

Hybrid bumper makes it easier to get to than the other bolts. Fwiw, one of mine is broken, and doesn't seem to make much difference
