How to remove headlight?

Jason · 10-06-2009, 08:13 PM

I need a little help. Got into an accident the other day and I need to remove my driver side headlight to be able to drive and turn the wheel. The headlight got pushed back into the car and I lost the plastic that goes around the wheel so the tire just rubs against it and just causes more damage.

I would look at my passenger side as a reference but it looks completely different (everything is more exposed on the driver side). I removed two bolts from the bottom of the light and I see the one on the top that holds it to the fender (can't reach it because the light is over it - hard to explain..). Is it just these three bolts or is there another one I don't know about?

Thanks in advance.
