#117254, "Foglight screw problem...."


          

Okay...well I had a PIAA foglight bulb burn out (lasted a year almost to the day) and ordered a new one. Well was trying to get the damn screw out that holds the foglight assembly to the foglight mounting bracket and I can't break the S.O.B. loose to save my life and the head of the screw is now striped...Any ideas how to get it out and what I should put back in. I was thinking of using bolts (the ones with the hex head and screw top) instead of the standard screw...Good idea??...And if anyone knows the size of the screw
off hand that would be wonderful...Thanks guys.

i stripped two screws on my steering wheel and had to drill through them. if nothing else works you may just have to do that

remove all three of the mounting bolts. This way you can take out the entire mounting plate and the light in one piece. Instead of just the light assy. by removing the one screw. The bolt on the top of the light will be a PITA. just unscrew the adjustment screw completly and bend the light down a little to get to the bolt. once you have the mounting plate and the light out you can crimp down on the back side of the screw with a set of vice grips to loosen the screw. I had the same problem and stripped the hell out of the screw. I personally replaced the screw with bolts on both sides so i wouldn't have the same problem again.
