cannot remove (1) headlight - 98 camaro :( Hello,
So I've been trying to remove my headlights to do
the whistler mod. Passenger side is a breeze. Driver's
side this bolt (pictured) spins but will not come loose.
I've tried gripping the other end etc to no avail. Is
there a way to remove the headlight without taking
this bolt off?
Thanks

It looks like if you can't get the bolt off you have to take the whole
front end of the car off.
If there is a work-around, please someone post a picture!

Take the bolt down to Ace or somewhere so you can size it for a nut. I think it may be a regular M6. Nutserts are crap, had to cut mine out as well but I had new Depo Whistler lights that came with brackets. $127 a pair on Amazon.

Disassembling to color/paint part of the light. Or, just buying some that have plastic over part of it. Named after the user who came up with it.

If you're talking about the serrated portion of the reflector being blacked out, the ones I linked are exactly like that. The picture just doesn't show the interior well.

The half whistler seems to be the better of the two for the average daily driven camaro (night driving as well.) Sure, the full whistler looks kind of cooler but I'd imagine that it considerably cuts light out put to look slightly better?
