Default Replacing head lights 6th gen

I bought new head lights because to much water was getting in them. There are a few nuts that I can't reach to remove the head light. Is there something I have to remove in order to reach them? Im loosing light fast so fast responses would be very helpful
thanks

On previous gens the bumper had to be removed. Yes, that's right, the front bumper (not the cover, the whole bumper). You may have to remove the splash guard and check for bolts holding the bumper. Guess you don't have a service manual.

By the way, is your headlight cracked? It could be leaking in from the rubber seal on the back side where the bulb is. That's how the water got into my truck headlight.

once you take the bumper off, you have to unbolt the headlights from the bracket that hold them in

You have to remove the whole bumper to get to the screws to remove them. there should be screws on the top and bottom of the headlight. they're not hard to remove have fun. BWT don't forget to disconnect the light.
