Title: Headlight screw
Post by: RedGolfDom on July 06, 2016, 08:04:51 pm: I installed my depo headlights today however I couldn't for the light of me put this screw back in, I tried putting it in before the others and still no luck, anyone else had a similar issue? I have packed up for the day today but going to have another crack tomorrow
