I'm at a loss. I've managed to disconnect three 10mm bolts holding the drivers side headlight in place after I removed the grill.

There seems to be one more bolt in the lower left quadrant that is inaccessible. I also can not remove the side marker after unscrewing the one Phillips screw that drills into the headlight.

Is there some magic to taking off a 99SF headlight and side marker?

    Problems, Maintenance, and Warranty
    I was rear ended by a large extended bed pickup. He didn’t break and says he was going 35 mph at the time. The safety features and defensive driving kept me from hitting the car in front of me. 16k in damages to my new forester. I’m wondering if the car should have deployed my air bags. My...
