I am trying to remove my headlights to clean the inside of the glass as they are rather smoggy.  I have removed the top 2 nuts, the side lense and the strip at the bottom.  Is there a nut at the bottom I am missing as the damm thing wont budge.  I cant see anything and there is no where with easy access that i think there could b 1.  Is there some sort of clip, or am I missing something.

you can reach the bottom clips from under the bumper but be careful
as they are very brittle and snap off very easily
