Headlight screw
« 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

It also means the headlights don't quite sit right in my opinion

I could be very wrong here but when I zoom in on the hole where the bolt goes in, it looks like the clip is the wrong 1 for the bolt. Make sure it's a threaded nut clip not a self tapping clip :thinking:
