I'm not sure if this is the right thread...

but

it's the bolt holding the spot light on passenger side (the one at 8 o'clock)
happened at night so didn't have a propper look at it yet, but someone might done it b4.

Will I have to drill it as I can't see a space for a file to make a line for a screw-driver.

Anyone?

Cheers
Robert

They aren't usually that tight, so you might get away with:
1. a slitting type disc in a Dremel type tool. Slot it and use a driver. Dremel does it easier and gets into spaces better than a file.
2. No? OK then, drill it with a new sharp drill, and use a stud removal tool, a sort of pointy bolt with a left hand thread.
3.No? Now you're into the realms of bumper removal/wheelarch liner removal to try and get at it from the back.
