Arrow Try It

Give it a try with the screws, I honestly have changed over 400 hundred sets of headlights and have never come across a set that wouldnt come out...

Changing bulbs on my 7th gen is a PITA... After you take out the screws, you have to turn the whole bulb/plug a little bit (I think counterclockwise). This sounds easy... but the first time I tried doing it, I thought I was going to break something, I had to pry at it so hard. It might give you resistance, but as long as all 3 screws are out, and you turn in the right direction, it'll come out.

don't unscrew anything. just press down on the white tab at the bottom of the plug. unplug it from the light bulb. it's a little tough to take out but, keep trying. after the white plug is removed, turn the bulb and it should come loose.

Normally you do don't have to remove those screws, but if the bulbs won't twist you could remove them and pry it straight out. Those screws are only there as retainers for the tabs on the bulb base.
