Headlight Motor, Replacement.

I need to know how to take the thing out!
Seems like I'm going to have to crawl under the car, because after removing the visible bolts its still stuck firmly in place. Are there any on the bottom?

Re: Headlight Motor, Replacement.

Ya there are 2 bolts underneath the headlight.
The way i did it was with an extension and a swivel socket (not sure of the exact name but hopefully you know what im talking about)

Im not sure you can reach them underneath the car because the bumper support is in the way though i may be wrong on that one.

Also its easier to see the bolts if you remove the bezel.
