on my fox, to put them in(had to put bumper on when i bought car) i just went from underneath the car. its not all that bad, still kinda tight. i could use a 1/4" ratchet for a lil bit, then i had to wrench them the rest of the way off. hope that helps

It's not hard at all. It also helps if you take out both inner and outer marker lights. Only 3 nuts holding the headlight bucket frame in. Are you sure you're going about it the right way?
