I've been meaning to change out the headlights - both lows work, one high beam is out, and they're all really dim. So on my way back from a trip to the store, I stop at AutoZone and pick up a set of halogen low and high beam lamps. The first bezel came off ok (missing one screw though). I got on of the three screws out holding on the trim ring on the left low lamp. THe other two heads were rounded beyond hope. I'm doing this at 10:00 at night, so a trip to Sears is out of the question. Tomorrow morning I'll go pick up a set of screw extracting bits. It's always something - isn't it? I went ahead and placed an order for all new screws. At least this also gives me a chance to give the bezels a good cleaning and waxing.

Sometimes the hardware store has stainless steel screws that fit just right.

This event was a clone for my headlights!!

my trim rings are messed up too. got new ones from ecklers. as soon as some other stuff gets done will install.just a suggestion here. i wouldn't waste the time or the money on sears screw extractors. if they are the ones they show on tv, most of the time they just grind the head off but occassionally they do work. you can do the same with a dremel tool grinding the head of or you may want to try a reverse drill bit. sometimes with the bit the heat loosens it up and it will unscrew itself actually doing what the screw extractors are supposed to do.

Another thing you can do is to spray either penetrating oil or wd40 on the screws and let them soak for awhile.  Then try to get them out.  Works for me a lot of the time.
