Anyone ever try to remove the bolts for the T bar behind the headlights? This is what happens when I get frustrated with hidden bolts:

and a freakin miracle to get those 2 bolts behind the headlight housing off...I have no idea how the hell the factory could put a headlight in and then install those 2 nuts its impossible. It took me 40 minutes to remove 1 bolt only to realize theres another one left...CHOPCHOP

You pull the headlight out towards you just enough to get a socket in there, you kinda have to force it a little. It helps to take the actual bumper cover off first too bro.. :wow:

That's pretty damn funny regardless..

Tried that a year ago with the bumper cover off and a pry bar still couldnt get a 1/4" ratchet in there, and a crecent wrench takes forever. Id rather just cut it, you dont really need that crap anyway.

they put the headlight in BEFORE the bumper cover goes on.
the bolts are easy to access then.

That's how I did it. And you lose no structural inegrity in doing so.

I've been to bodyshops that couldn't get that monstrosity off.
