Anyone who's fitted rear lights on a corsa b, will know there's one bolt on either side that's an absolute bastard to get out!!
I helped my mate fit his lexis lights (yes under great protest) and there was on bolt, the nearest to us, that was really tricky to get of and back on,
I've just got some smoked rears and was wondering I there's any trick to make it easier, or wether just struggle through is the only way?

Cheers

yes use a flexi joint with the extension bar and 8mm socket, simple? its not that hard... you can probably get it with a 8mm open ended spanner

As Sam said, or prise out the clips on the trims and pull them to the side a tiny bit, will help a lot.

5 doors are jsut as hard, you have to go through the boot interior light hole to get to the top passenger side bolt

Sometimes easier by putting some grease in the socket so that the bolt sticks in the socket and saves dropping it, easier for fiddly bits where you can get your hand in
