The last time I will ask this question

How do you get to the screw on the back of the road lights? Underneath? Through the hood? I wanna drop it out to put Polarg's in.

Thanks. I was already messing around in there but it still doesn't say how you get to it. Is it clearly visible from behind, underneath?

Yes, like shown in the scan there is a little notch in the plastic where the screwdriver goes.
You access it from the front through an opening in the grill, not from underneath.
You need a pretty long screwdriver and it seems like you are turning forever before it comes loose.

The screw doesn’t actually come out; it just loosens enough to swing the lamp assembly forward.

MY .02 it took me less than 5 minutes TOTAL time to just reach up under and twist bulb out and replace. Spent 10 minutes originally trying to unscrew housing..damn hand won't fit in to turn screwdriver.

I recommend a flashlight so you can see exactly where the screw is. Like Shawn said, it does seem like you are turning forever.

That might be possible to do to put the lamp in, but I would advise everyone to get some practice removing the whole housing. The other option of course is when you got to clean out the 'shrapnel' left over from the broken bulbe when you tried to remove it the same way you out it in And of course to do this you'll have to remove the housing anyway
