Removing screws that will not come out.

The headlight ring should come clean off if you drill the screw head out. Then you get good access to the screw. If the screw turns with the drill bit, then I don't know what to do. Pry the trim ring open against the screw head from the bottom with a sturdy wooden stick or something?

Is it actually holding the headlight rim on, or is it an adjustment screw for the headlight? I'm pretty sure my '68 beetle only had 1 screw at the bottom holding the rim on and it was hooked over a bit of metal at the top. The other screw did nothing, but was meant for headlight adjustment once upon a time.

Oh yea, that's true :) Only the bottom one at 6 o'clock holds the trim ring on.

The two in my '66 are just adjustment screws. The rim is removed from the light unit by taking out the spring clips holding it together.

It holds the rim in. I got the other out with no problems. I will be replacing the rims as they have dings in them.
