The screws that hold the front lights housing in place. It's an inverted screw, so you need an inverted philips wrench.. maybe one of the "special" tools of land rover!!

What i intend to do is to find the biggest screw I can, insert it to a piece of wood (to make an handle) and hope it works!

I still dont get you Sad

If you mean the main headlights ..then there are no screws ..there are two clips that slide upwards ..then the whole light unit comes out ..enabling you to change the bulbs ....

Take a picture it may be easier to understand what your trying to explain Thumbs Up

I know what you mean, the problem is the "inverted screws" holding the clips.. they are really tight and I can't move the clips without losening them a bit.. i think..

Ah ..i dont have to touch the screws ...but a touch of WD40 or penatrating oil may loosen them up ..making the tabs slide easily

That might do the trick. I was wondering how would it be if I had to change a bulb away from my garage!

I have just been removing my front end to give my hidden winch a servicing ...i had to squirt a bit of wd40 on the tabs as mine were pretty solid with dust and mud !!!

Came off a treat after a few mins of the wd40 soaking in Thumbs Up
