hella 500 mounting difficulty on stock bumper

i bought some of the hella 500 driving lights today and i decided to atleast mount them tonight and do the wiring tomorrow. well the only problem is i cant figure out how to tighten them to the bumper more securely, as i can only get my hand up to tighten the nut on the inside of the bumper. anyone else had this problem? i probably just need some better tools (suggestions?) or any easy way at doing this? thanks.

A 12in extension would work in conjunction with a universal swivel adapter.

Once tight, they won't move. Not even on Michigan's crappy roads. Take a look at my avatar. The three that I have have saved my A$$ from multiple deer strikes this year already.
