Default Quick headlight removal question.

Yes I know this is the wrong forum but I need a quick answer and figured this forum would have the mosr viewers with more common sense than me. Im sanding my headlights to remove the yellow and am wondering how in the hell you remove these things. I have a Chiltons manual but it is vague and has no pictures for the process. I removed the obvious retaining bolt but there is another one down below thats absolutely damn impossible to get to. Can anyone more mechanicly inclined than me explain how in the hell im supposed to get to it? Are the two retaining bolts all I have to worry about(other than obviously pulling the lights themselves out) ? Thanks for any help.

It's rather easy.

Take the bolt out of the back of the headlight. It's a single bolt that's in the middle at the top of the headlight. Once it's out, slide the headlight towards the center of the car. You'll see how it comes out from there.

Well isnt this a blast from the past. Here I am asking the same damn question but with another Camaro I bought. So its only a single 10mm bolt in the back center of the assembly that holds these in? Just bought a cheap 2$ pair of pliers and tried to get the damn things to break loose but there isn't enough room. Looks like I'll be finding someone to borrow a 10mm socket off of.
