I had to pop the head lights up to get my assemblies out.

Have to remove the cover. You WILL have to adjust the position. Here's a little bit...

I think there are 8 total. 4 on top just behind the cover, 3 facing the center of the car and one underneath the assmbley facing the front. You'll have to bring it all the way up to get to it. And yeah, they're all 10mm.

Why not? It shows him the two bolts he needs to get to, clear as day. It helps quite a bit if you know what you're looking for.

Yes, but there is a lot more to it.

You can pop the lights up mannualy, look around the coolant over-flow bottle and you should see a red ***(turn it clock-wise to pop the lights) coverd by a rubber cap. This is same on the other side by the windshield washer bottle.

Oh come on...I didn't mean it like that. You had some cutting done it looks like. Those you pointed out were the top most bolts. The one in front that's hidden and the few on the side wern't shown...
