You can try to turn the shaft with a pair of vise grips but... I dunno how effective that would be especially given the space constraints.... or you can reach in there and pop one of the headlamp control arms off.. they are connected by ball and socket joints just like the wiper linkage. You can pry them apart fairly easily then just find some thing to prop the assembly up.

negatory. If you are having that difficult of a time. Pop one of the connecting rods off like I mentioned above. You should be able to easily lift the light by hand after that.

Well, make sure they are disabled. A friend of mine got his fingers caught in the linkages of his celica. Fucked his fingers up pretty bad.
