Default Headlight housing removal, need help...

Well I bought the HID kit from bling-lights. The directions provided with the kit aren't vehicle specific and are the worst directions ever. I do not know what to do from here to remove the housings. Please help, I'm stuck.

Ok, the side of the headlight unit to the outside of the car is held on by two 10mm bolts. The bolt heads are on the back side of the shiny, silver, virticle piece of metal that is slightly "C" shaped. You can get at it from behind with a socket and a short extension. You can also get at it from the side with wrench, but you only get an 8th of a turn or so.

The part of the light to the inside of the car is held on with one 10mm bolt. The head of this bolt is behind the shiny, metal, hangin down thing and is near the top of the light.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much Dale, with your advice I was able to remove the housings. It turns out I was trying to unscrew the wrong bolts.
