Snapped the heads off both bolts on top of the headlight. How can I remove the rods now?

A torch and vise grip is what it took for me to get them out when they snapped on me. Make sure to use anti-seize on them when you get new ones. For some reason they seem to seize up on these cars. I've seen others with the same problem.

Hey anyone have a part number for the bolts? or where to get them? Mine broke too...got lucket with small visegrips and a drill, they are really soft

Just go to the dealer and either show them or explain to them. They're like 3 bucks or something.

I think they're more around $8-10 each now. They break very commonly. I also used a torch to remove mine when it snapped.

you have made a big mistake man! you need to visit some service centre now. they will file it to get it out from bottom side

no service center needed. All you need is this:

Dude, you have no idea what salt does to a car. It's probable the reason that they invented anti-seize. Just one more reason for me to get the hell outta here...
