No, you don't have to take out your headlights,the corners come out seperately.I looked at mine again today (as I had to do an Oil change) and the hole for the small philips head screw is almost like a "keyhole"(like in old doors with skeleton keys),but trust me there is only one screw.When you're pulling it out though it feels like you've missed something.Take your time I can't stress this enough,they are a total bitch to get out.Clikwir is right too take the time to clean the harness(connector) while yu've got it out,it also wouldn't be a bad idea to rub some thin grease(not WD-40)on the contacts of your new bulbs to prevent corrosion.Hope this helps a little more!!:thumbup:
