Default HELP! removing headlights

I'm trying to take off my ap1 headlights to trade for ap2 headlights but I can't seem to reach the last bolt.

the bolt in question is bolt 5 hidden between the fender wall and the metal brace under the headlight ( this is going off rick's instructions http://www.ricks2k.com/info/instructions/diffuser.pdf )

i'm using an extension but i just can't seem to find the space to reach the bolt and undo it...

can anybody help me out? thanks for your time and help!!

easier if you unbolt the fender liners.

Yeah I agree.. I usually just stick my socket up there with an extension its like in the middle of the headlight but kind of closer to the front of the car if that makes sense.. You'll get it

I was able to find it after some fishing around with the socket on the end of an extension. Patience and a flashlight help a lot.

Oh and if you think removal sucks, wait till you put it back in
