So I have a question for the people who has experience in removing the headlight. I understand how to remove the headlight and install the mtec angel eyes, but the only thing that is keeping me from installing this beauty is the two very bottom screws that keeps the headlights in place. I have no tools to unscrew it, no store that i can find in my area has it... not even home depot has the screw that i need.
Since my hands are big I need a long and skinny screwdriver, can someone give me a link to an online store that has the screwdriver with the correct size to unscrew them? much appreciated

ru talkn bout the two torx screws that u want to loosin but not remove. that way u can slide the bottom of the light out and then slide it back in when ur done. we had a torx screw driver which wasnt long enuff so we took a long ratchet extension( 9 inchs about) and then but a small socket on there that would allow a torx bit to work. reach down there and gave it a turn lucky there not screwed on that tight. macgyver it when u dont got the tools

While inktoxicated say is true, I would still recommend taking it off for ease of removal.
With it off, you get the freedom to move laterally and makes the headlight removal process much simpler versus sliding it forward only.

yeah for some reason my home depot doesnt have the torx screwdriver, but I was able to get them at Harbor Freight.
Got them installed, man it looks gorgeous
