Yo guys attempting the detango and spray headlights today but I'm having trouble removing and finding the 2nd nut to take the headlight out, ive removed the top nut but can't get to the 2nd nut as it's behind a metal frame? Is this the correct nut to remove?

The two nuts should be accessable from the arch behind the liner.

turn the wheel or take it off so you can have a right good look

Well, I did it using very similar kit bud - with skinned knuckles...

A case of bending the arch liner far enough out to get in with the ratchet. I managed to get the extension bar onto the nut first then pushed the ratchet onto the end to undo it...

Real PITA job though... Smile

You don't, you unclip the white plug from it and the whole headlight assembly comes out..

Mind and take out the bulbs as well before you yank out the light...
