I need to replace the passenger side headlight. It appears that the coolant bottle can be removed, but is there something holding it at the bottom? It moves, but I can't pull it up.

As a follow up: With the help of a 2nd person, I loosened the bolt on the top brace and the 2 nuts toward the radiator. We also removed the top support for the overflow bottle so that could be pushed toward the rear. This allowed us to pull the light unit toward the front, leaving enough room to change the bulb. The unit still was fastened to something on the fender, but we carefully got the job done. Fortunately, this is the 1st time since I purcahsed the car new that the bulb had to be replaced. I hope it's another 8 years before I have to do it again.

Typically the coolant bottle is screwed down. Take a peek down there with a screw driver.

Is that screw inside the bottle?

no... it's on the chasis below the headlights, I think you must slide it away from the botttom, but I would double check!
