1995 headlight replacement???

Can anyone tell me how to remove the phillips head screw that has to be removed to remove the bezel? One is easy to get to the other is impossible. With the light up or down I can't get to that screw!?
Please help!

Thank you!

Turn the switch on and off real quick, to get the headlight stuck halfway between so you can get to the screw.

Thanks everyone! I just decided to take the headlight completely out.
It is so much easier that way. Ironically, I had just removed that light yesterday to do the headlight bushings!

Thanks guys!

Just did mine last week. He might need some PB Blaster if the screw is stuck.

Jerry, seems like you should be able to manually rotate the light into position using the round **** on top of your headlight motor. That's what I did when I replaced my headlight a couple of years ago.

Thanks Onedef92,
That's a great idea. I'll certainly try that next time. Since I had just done the bushings (Yea!!) I was up to speed on just taking the light completely out so that was okay. Scoring around the healight with a sharp object which one suggested do in order to make sure the light is put back in correctly sure makes taking the light out much easier.

I learn a lot from you guys so keep the suggestions coming!
