I have a 2002 Dakota and changed out the stock 9007 light bulbs for some Sylvania Silverstars. While doing this, I stripped out the adjustment/alignment (torx) screws that hold the light assembly. I wanted to know how I could take those stubborn torx screws out.
Thanks in advance

You can not remove the alignment screws they are molded into the housing. Now if you are talking about the screw that holds the corner light on take a small dril bit and drill into the head and then pull it out and buy some new screws (thats what i did)

Thanks for the info DakUSA. I somehow removed the alignment screws for the left headlight assembly. I have replaced those alignment (torx) screws with some 1/4 - 2 1/2" screws and they seem to work and adjust the beam properly. For some reason, I am having trouble with the right headlight. I have seen items like the "Drill-out/Screw-out" from Sears and a set of Pliers that grab and pull out stripped screws. I'm a little skeptical about those items. I do not have any other choice and I'm running out of time. My vehicle inspection is comig up soon. The dealer is asking for $360 + labor for a new headlight assembly that includes the alignment screws. You cannot buy these screws by itself.

You could also always but the clear euro lights / corners or maybe get someoen to sell their old light for a bargain.. These go off on Ebay all the time for under $100 for the assembly.
