#31857, "HELP w/ stripped fog light screws"


          

Hi guys,

I'm trying to change the bulbs in my fog lights, but two of the three screws holding the fog light housing together are stripped. The heads are too small for me to use a vice grip. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

If it could fit, try drilling the bolts/screws out
drill through the screws

my friend took a ratchet and took the whole housing out only one bolt was tricky. try that. He didn't take off the bumper, just look around for the bolts.

Just get an extractor set. Drill out a pilot hole, and use an extractor to pull the screw out. Sucks when this happens.
