Son of a gun!
 
So after being outside in the cold for 40 minutes, attempting to fix the fog light situation, I need a new bulb which is no problem, but after removing the headlight assembly, I can't get the two bolts on that fasten the assembly to the frame on the grill side. Any ideas? It's almost as if they're stripped but I didnt even need to force them off, they just took a little pressure to budge.

Oh yeah, I broke one of those clips that holds the grill on too:( Damn it. I put everything back on fine except those two bolts, it'll stay on but there's a little play if I poke it.

The ones on "Patience" were gone when I got her. Someone had used drywall screws to hold it on. She now has new clips.

On "Da Twin," however, the grille was cracked. I got a replacement (Thank you Lwin) and since she is "Evil," (and I was out of clips and didn't want to order any more), zip ties are doing a fine job.

Pete,
You realize you don't have to take the headlight housing out to replace a fog light. Right?:D

Well yes, but my hands can't seem to get in there to do it without taking it out. Any thoughts on what to do about those two bolts? I did get the other side fixed...that was easy, blown fuse.:rolleyes: j

Sorry, Pete. I've never had the headlight housings out. I have small hands. :D

I'm not making fun. I truly do wish I could help, but, I have no idea.
