Alright last night I decided to pull the headlights out, take the yellow out, and paint the casing black. So I head out to the garage and start with the passenger headlight. Got 3 bolts off, spent 1/2 hour lookin for the 4th, finally found it, couldnt get it out, so I pulled the light out and broke the clip off the bottom bolt. Easy enough, i wasnt planning on using the bottom one anyways. Took it apart, painted it, put it back in.
Spent another hour trying to get the drivers side off before i said f--k it, so i get home from work today and start on the drivers side. i found 3 bolts (i think they all go to the headlight) but it wont move!! I looked for the same elusive bolt from the other side but to no avail. Can someone PLEEAAASEEE help me out here, I'd like to get this done soon. If someone knows of a tutorial or website, please share. Thanks guys,
Mike
 
the are a mirror image of each other - both have that same bottom bolt, its also a tad easyer with the bumper cover and center bracket out of the way, but it can be done w/o removin them
