    damn dude, I don't know why you've had so much trouble this far. I seriously got my grill and headlight off and out in like 10-15 minutes today.

    Hope you get it out.... I'm too chicken to take my lites out and do the BHLM. I think it looks great when done.... Some day...

    But back to you... not to be an a** or anything (not my intention) but are you using the right size socket?

    Good luck.

    Did he get it at any building\parts store? i have a feeling that this couldve been the answer to my frustration all along :eek:

    Haha size socket is 10mm but its just to big of a socket wrench to stick up there

    You should be using a 10mm socket on a 1/4 drive ratchet. It appears that in one of your previous pictures you are using a 10mm socket
    (1/4" drive) on a 3/8 drive ratchet utilizing a 1/4" to 3/8" drive adapter.

    If you don't have a 1/4" drive ratchet, go pick one up at your local auto parts store, wally world, or anywhere that sells hand tools.
