Headlight removal help

Taking the driver side headlight out
On 07 tl. The scans do not say anything
About how to remove mounting bolts 'c'

There is something blocking access to
Them. I'm aware on the passenger side
That there is a Washer reservoir but on driver
Side there is some black thing. Airbox?
Anyways how to get access to those last
Bolts?

Thanks

exactly, just remove the whole thing and then the bolts are right there. Its good to get rid of it anyway, it serves no purpose, i think i got a little better throttle response and mpg with it gone too

yes.. it is in that space. what i did was loosen the resonator box by removing
2 bolts from it and then pushing downwards on it so the mounting bolts
for the headlights can be reached via 10mm socket with extension.

I'd yank out the resonator box while you're in there. I removed mine over the weekend. Not sure that I really notice much of a difference in the butt dyno, but it also isn't really any louder (maybe at high RPM) so what is the point in keeping that huge contraption up there.
