370Z Rear Black / Dummy Fog Light Plug Removal Help

You may need to drill the lens of the dummy light with a butterfly bit?

You need to gain access the head of the bolts so you can use needle nose pliers or something to keep them from spinning while trying to loosen the nut.

This is not unusual since they sometimes use too much Locktite at the factory.

Good Luck!!

But seriously though, did you at least try any sort of lubricant to loosen the bolts? WD40, PB Blaster, etc?

Soaked it in WD-40 for about 30 mins before starting... Did nothing...
