• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Help/Advice needed

Hi there all, never thought I needed help since owning my Spyder since 2015 but there is always a first time. This morning I set myself a task to replace day running light bulb due to not working with a new one (changed the left hand bulb a few weeks ago myself with no problems), I started to take screws off panel but unfortunately 2 of the screws have been over tightened (not by me) and when I have tried to loosen screws I may have damaged the head. My question is what do I need to do to loosen those 2 screws so that I can remove panel to get access to replace day running light bulb?
My Spyder is a 2015 F3-S but I thought I post in general discussion due to advice needed on removing damaged screws.
Heres hoping I get some help/advice from you.:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
 
Use a Dremel or similar tool to cut slots in a criss-cross pattern so you can use a flat head or phillips head screwdriver. If that fails, you may have to drill and use an easy out (screw extractor)...

Thanks:thumbup:. Just been to Halfords and bought a extractor set for torx fixings.
