Kinda Screwy

So the good news is I managed to open up my headlamp and fix the broken led turn signal. The bad news is that I misplaced the screw on top. Anyone have access to type of screw (size/thread) from workshop manual or other means?

No you need to break the seal between the lens and the body of the light and then release the six clips around the exterior

Sorry, I've got a spare for parts but I'm an 09 DB9 and it's just got clips all around.

Thanks Old Phart, so the hole I circled above has no screw in it on yours? I could have sworn I took a screw out before I opened it....but my memory is not the best.


Can anyone else verify if they removed a screw here? Thanks!

First time I did it, I just re-closed it as the glue still looked really good. Went through several washes with no condensation issues. This time I bought some silicone as added insurance and put it around the exterior where the two pieces meet
