two up on top. one behind it you can reach it by either taking the bumper off or I believe by going underneath but its easier to take the bumper off. and then theres the two small bolts on the side by the turn signal

I think it's easier w/ a 10mm deep socket, 6"-12" extention, put them togehter and wrap it with electrical tape if you don't want to risk scaring up your bumper. You can also drop a small magnet into the socket if you wish to try to keep the bolt on the socket. Great idea for installs. But with all the other bolts removed, it should be easy to lift the headlight enough to see the bolt and to get the socket back into the bottom outside corner.

i just installed my black depos about a month ago. if you can get it up on a lift the bolt is much easier to reach from the bottom. im not very flexible and i was able to reach it. the two bolts on top, then the 10mm bolt hiding behind the headlight assembly and you will be good.
