    yeah. Take a socket wrench (same size as the other bolts IIRC), hold the socket end with 2 fingers and reach up between the light and the fender (from under the bumper).

    Use a 3rd finger to help feel around for the bolt and line up the wrench. It's a bitch to get too. I think you can look through the gap under the headlight to make sure you get the right bolt. I think there's a second one in the same area so you need to get the one going to the plastic part of the headlight.

    this help?? worked for me. That last corner jesus bolt is super hard to get on and off. when i reinstalled my blackouts i couldnt get one of them in for the life of me, but the others keep it sturdy and the lights stay aligned

    I had a little trouble on the driver side cause my arm wouldnt bend the same way? [lol] anyways, i guess just feel around. You can see/feel the bottom bolt then just go about an inch from that. Really i dont know any tips other then just feel around. I unbolted the bottom one thinking i was hot $#!T only to realize i had just wasted 15min. sad day.

    ALSO: once you get the light out, be careful pulling the main bulb out with that metal spring. i sapped the little plastic lip piece that holds the spring on and couldnt get it to glue back on. I ended up just electrical taping the rubber seal to the housing :(
