Yep, they are a bitch and they usually end up braking off anyway. I drilled them out and replaced all them. Alot less of a headache and only costs a few bucks

which screws u talking about? if you stripped em already.. gotta drill em out now.
if you're talking about the actual foglight on the back.. I used a small screwdriver from my leatherman wave and pressed real hard an was able to get those screws in/out. laf did it about 5 times cuz the bulb was out and my friends were out too.. anyway if you haven't stripped em find a very small screwdriver and it should work.. or drill em out
if you're talkin about the plastic covering in the bumper? regular philips head..? heh

no, im talking about the 3 tiny lil screws in the back. and if i drill how deep do i go, the length of the screw? if not, then how do i get it out? it will be a little hole won't it?

Heh I didn't know either.. but Remy explained. Basically to drill out a screw.. you end up destroying it by literally drilling it to pieces. Start with a small bit that's smaller than the screw.. drill the length of the screw.. I guess you'll have a hole in the middle of the screw now. Now get a slightly bigger bit.. and drill again.. til the screw is no more.
Heh if i'm wrong someone wanna correct me? Never done it before laf. I'm just real careful not to strip.
