headlight housing replacement

I'm trying to remove my whole headlights housing but the two screws at the back are just impossible to get to. Does anybody have any advice on this?

Theyre 8mm nuts I thought, idk tho, its been a while since I've taken mine out. Either way, throw some wd-40 on the bolt or screw to loosen it up.

But theres a lot things especially lines that are blocking the path to the screws.

I know I had to use an extension on my socket head in order to reach the nuts. Have you tried that?

I got mine off easily. It's a matter of the right extension n size. There shouldn't be to much blocking it

An 8mm nutdriver is what I use. Even a 8mm deep socket would work.

That passenger side light is a b*tch because of that line. I had to use a wrench.

That line can easily be moved out of the way with no problems.

Mine have all been 10mm nuts holding them on. I used a 1/4 drive ratchet with a 4" extension.
