I think you have the idea. I did about the same thing with some hard to reach turn signal housings that had little studs that tended to break off when removing the nut. A couple self tapping screws took care of that.
Jerry, don't grind the bolt heads off yet. I looked at my Ranchero, and with a short 7/16 box end wrench I could reach through the space between the grille bars under the light and get to the nuts on the housing. If you don't have a wrench short enough, pick up a cheap wrench at a flea market or offshore tool dealer, and cut it short enough to clear the splash pan as you remove the nuts. A short 1/4" ratchet would also probably work, but you may need a deep socket, which would make it a little more difficult. John
tO jOHN, i did grind off the bolt heads, this cars not a point car, and i always look for the easy way, any way its all
done, and the turn signal works, thanks to all of the guys for advice, jerry
