Unhappy bolts problem?

I was taking the front valance off and the 2 bolts that are on the side under the headlight housing on the right side(when facing the car) broke off! i was turning them counter clockwise too.....im totally confused why this happened.....are these bolts the wierd ones that open in the clockwise direction or sumtin? any ideas on how to get it out now?

thanx,
Gufran

sounds like a bad case of corrosion making it stick... get a drill and an easy out. Soak it in penetrating oil before you do any of that.

I recommend before taking off any more bolts... squirt penetrating oil on it and let it sit. PB Blaster works well. It's a fairly good de-greaser as well!!
