Headlight Install???

Damn I've had a new set of headlights and clear corners sitting in my garage for the past month or so. I finally decided to install them, only to run into the difficulty of removing the two nuts next to the radiator (located behind the headlights). (Pictured here: http://www.vqpower.com/images/clrlights/PICT0219.jpg) I've tried every angle I could think of with various tools for the past few days with no luck, any tips or suggested tools to finally install these?

Small rachet with the right head. Use the small rachet with the handle faced towards the ground (not up toward you). It should be able to move enough to loosen the nuts to take off with you're fingers. Thats the only way I got them out.

Really? If you mean your break lights....open the trunk, pull out the tabs for the trunk lining near the light, pull the bulbs and replace. That simple

Get a ratchet and a 3" extension. That's what I have and it works perfectly.
