you're not the first to complain about it! I'm not going to touch mine until a bulb goes out!

I guess I'm lucky enough not to know which screw you are referring to? Is this a P5 thing? And New London??? Man I don't miss that place... lol

What screw are you even talking about?? I've changed my bulbs several times on my 03 DX and never had any issues...

Same here... changing the bulbs is sh*t simple.

Look at the bracket. There is a screw that holds in it place, it pivots off from it. That popped out.

My headlights have a clip that holds them into place, but the P5 lights are a lil bit different.
