GGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

After trying to post this message 4 times, unsuccessfully I'll make this question super short.

I can't seem to get the bolt that holds the bar beneath the headlights off *on the left headlight where the horn is*. I have tried a wrench, socket set and even my hands. After spending over an hour on this stupid bolt I'm getting really frustrated to say the least. I now have one headlight done and the other is not even off and it will be dark soon. I've tried to post a pic but it wouldn't let me so for the sake of berevity I'm not going to try to post one again. Can anyone help me out with tips or something? Thank you so much.

Front headlamp? um... go buy a socket extension.

This confused me " *on the left headlight where the brake is*" I was thinking...huh? does he mean the tail lights? You might want to edit it.

Thanks for all the help...I utilized your guy's methods": used my hand as the "extention" and a regular socket...not the tool but a socket....and with my small hand twisted and turned the bolt with the bare socket! I am so relieved its finally done...thank you for all your help!

Damn, I was going to tell you to get something with some leverage, like a breaker bar. Post pics of your ride with the clear headlights now.

It sounds like you just needed the extension. I guess I take my full socket set for granted. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Now go buy some extensions and save yourself some future headaches. Eh, while your at it, you might want to get some deep sockets too.
