Ok. So I have a 1997 Toyota Celica GT and the screws that are holding the turn signals in starts to strip when I try to screw them out. The one on driver side is already stripped from previous owner and the passenger side I tried and it started stripping so I stopped. I am just using a simple hand powered phillips screw. Is there any way to remove it without stripping them? I want to replace the bulbs and now I also want to replace both screws due to stripping.

Going to cost me about 30-50 dollars to buy the dremel or drill and bits. Lol. This post has been edited by ILoveMySilly97: May 12, 2012 - 10:15 AM -------------------- |
