Default Low Beam bulbs
I decided to upgrade my low beam headlights on my 2007. There are 2 torx screws that attach the bulbs to the assembly. I rounded one the screws. Can anyone tell what the screws are. They are not a No. 6 screw and they are not a metric 3mm. No success after 4 auto parts stores, and my local hardware. Help will be appreciated.

You can use a hex head to fit it. Just try one that fits it and it will work.

Default Problem solved
I ran a 6-32 tap to clean the threads. Back in business.

What did you upgrade your low beams to? I love my d2s bulbs, wish my other cars had them.

What did you upgrade them to? I like the stock 4300k the best. I have 6000k fogs and they are too white for my taste.
