Default Mounting Lights on a Bull bar

Well I got this project done except for one major pain in the arsenal. When mounting the lights you have very little to work with, so how do you get the bolts tight so the lights dont move?

A wrench? Lol just kidding. I know what you mean though. They use one giant bolt instead of two smaller ones...

Yeah and you can only tighten it so much with your fingers. No wrench will work for this. Hell the end of the bolt doesnt come out on the bottom side
