Stripped Screw

I was attempting to black house my clear corners the other day, and of course when I tired to remove the drivers side corner, the screw was stripped. Does anybody have any suggestions about any other ways to remove the corner, or a way to remove the screw. Im not sure if I can use an extractor, because its pretty hard to see the screw and it is also a tight fit.

Did the screw turn at all? I got mine most of the way out, and then just pryed the corner out, just be careful doing that because you could break the corner lense. ZeroCL just drilled his stripped screw out

I suggest drilling if you can't get a good grip on it.

and.... if you need some new corner lights. I got a set I'll sell hahah I don't own a cl anymore.

Drill out the head of the screw. After that its cake. Go to Acura and ask to get that screw and little plastic housing ordered before you do it though. It wasnt that much, i replaced both.
