How do I do this?

How do I remove my headlight assemblies from the car? I know there are four bolts according to my headlight motor rebuild kit. I can see the two up top. But not underneath.

Is there a way to get to those bolts without taking out the air dam?

I have a 1987 Pontiac Trans-AM. Maybe I am retarded today or something. I can't figure it out. I am hoping to do this easily. Thanks.

Remove the headlight and the headlight bezel. Also take metal piece that the headlight goes into, it has the aiming screws and spring on it. That should give you enough room to see the other 2 screws and should give you room to remove it. I took mine out with out goin under the car. Mines a '85 TA, but I doubt things changed.

That worked out real well. Thanks. I was able to take them out pretty fast and do the rebuild. It wasn't nearly as hard as I expected. I got the kit from www.topdownsolutions.com and it was easy. The instructions were pretty thorough.
