Post 146 Pic shows the screws can be gotten to easy enough, what am I missing?


So just use a standard screw drive with a long shank
Phillips
I think what he is talking about is the upper screw has no depth for the screwdriver tip to go deep enough to get a bite?? Not sure.

If that’s the case I’d grind the tip down till it fits.

Ok thanks
That screw wasn't installed after the head light bracket was put together, the head light needs to be removed to get to it.

Probably the red ones. It was a single bracket for both lights, attached to the panel by the 4 blue marked bolts. I would have to have it in my hands to be sure about the reds.

Anyway, I got it out, so it's not a problem until I put it back.
