Default Yes, you should remove the bulbs...

...because it will make it easier to remove any small plastic chips created by cutting up the orange insert. I've got a compressor and I simply (1) removed the bulbs and (2) used and airgun to blow all of the plastic sh*t out of the housing after cutting up the orange insert. By removing the bulbs, you are facilitating cleaning the housing and avoiding damaging the bulbs while performing the mod.

As far as retreiving that bolt, I hear it's a real PITA! Gotta remove the wheel liner or some sh*t. Good luck. ;-)

Default Depending on what hole you're talking about....

...I unscrewed my mud-guards (plastic pieces that cover the engine from below) near the back of the front wheels and bumped them as much as possible until I popped the screw out - if that's what you're talking about...

Good luck.
